Large collection of scholarly volumes stolen in New England

Family members of Harvard philosopher William Ernest Hocking (1873 - 1966) have discovered that a large quantity of books from his library were stolen during the weekend of February 16-18 from a family home in northern New Hampshire. The missing books include a large amount of solid 19th and 20th century scholarly material in philosophy, religion and international law as well as valuable 17th & 18th century philosophy. The scholarly material includes 19th century editions of Plato, Aristotle, Plotinus, Epictetus, Cicero, etc. plus works on classical philosophy by Zeller, Lodge, Inge, etc. This is just the tip of the iceberg of the scholarly works. Much of this has the ownership signature of William E. Hocking.

Please feel free to contact me for a brief list of significant titles and/or contact info for Dr. Hocking's granddaughters who are hopeful that the books will be recovered.
