First edition of Guthrie's translation of Plotinos' works.

From the library of the noted Freudian psychiatrist and criminologist Dr. Arthur Norman Foxe, with his bookplate mounted onto the front pastedowns of volumes 2 through 4 (his bookplate was apparently removed from the first volume leaving some wear to that volume's pastedown). Dr. Foxe has additionally underlined and annotated the set in pencil throughout.

In addition to his contributions to psychiatry and criminology, Dr. Arthur Foxe, was an avid collector of works on ice skating. He wrote a brief bibliography of skating and another little book about Poe and hypnosis.

The Hellenistic philosopher Plotinus (circa 204/5 to 270) lived in Egypt under the Roman Empire. A student of the Platonic scholar Ammonius Saccas, Plotinus' philosophy is described in his work "The Enneads" as comprising three principles: the One, the Intellect, and the Soul. Plotinus' work influenced generations of Pagan, Jewish, Christian, Gnostic and Islamic mystics and metaphysics. Classified as a Neoplatonist by 19th Century historians, much of what is known of his life come from Porphyry's preface to "The Enneads".

The philosopher Kenneth Sylvan Guthrie (1871-1940) was the brother of the Scottish-born Episcopalian priest William Norman Guthrie who had also translated ancient philosophical writers in the effort of "making available the neglected treasures of Neo-platonism." Described by Manly Palmer Hall as a "brilliant but eccentric scholar", Kenneth Guthrie was a prohibitionist who composed music and wrote poetry in addition to translating the complete works of Plotinus.
