‎First printing of one of the papers for which Einstein was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1921. It was for the papers ""Ueber einen die Erzeugung und Verwandlung des Lichtes betreffenden heuristischen Gesichtspunkt"" of 1905 and ""Zur Theorie der Lichterzeugung...( Theory of light emission and absorption), the offered item, that Einstein received the prize: ""for his services to theoretical physics and especially for his discoveryof the law of the photoelectrical effect"" - his reward was not based on relativity.""The quantum theory has affected virtually every branch of physics. Its earliest and one of its most significant developments was Einstein's application of the theory to what is known as the 'photo-electrical effect'....Einstein explained this effext by suggesting that the classical view that light is emitted in the form of continous waves must be abandoned. The photo-electrical effect could be explained only as an example of quantum action where the waves of light or X-rays are emitted in minute particles or bullets. It is he size of the bullet (the wave-lenght of the radiation) which determines the number of electrons ejected. It was for this, and not for the theory of relativity, that Einstein was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1921. Einstein's two fundamental papers on this subject are ""Ueber einem Erzeugung...."" 1905 and Zur Theorie der Lichterzeugung (the paper offered here)"" (PMM the note to 391).Weil: 12 (with an asterix, denoting a major paper) - Boni:12.‎

‎All three papers first edition. The purpose of ""A theorem in probability and its application in the Theory of radiation"" is to demonstrate that the failure of statistical mechanics with respect to the radiation law (Rayleigh - Jeans law, contradicted by experience) cannot be removed by the conjecture that perhaps the individual statistical events should not follow the usual law of independence (product of probabilities) instead of assuming a certain interdependence between them. (Lanczos). The second paper ""Statistical investigation on of the motion of an oscillator in a radiation field"", makes use of the results of the previous investigation. Einstein's aim is to demonstrate that the Rayleigh-jeans law of radiation (contracdicted by the physical facts) is an unavoidable consequence of statistics, even if we avoid any kind of assumption which may be suspected of needing correction. (Lanczos). The third paper ""Theory of the opalescence of homogenous fluids and fluid mixtures near the critical state"" is an importent investigation and one of the most difficult of all his papers to understand. The aim of the paper is to complement the work of Smoluchovski (Ann. d. Physik,25, 1908) who gave a general explanation of the strong density fluctuations - and the opalescence thus generated - of two fluids near the critical state of mixture (or a single fluid near the critical state of condensation) on the basis of the kinetic theory of heat. he did notgive, however,the quantitative details concerning the scattered light associated with this phenomenon. (Lanczos). - Weil Nos 34, 35 and 36 (with an asterix denoting major work).‎

‎Albert Einstein Typed Letter Signed.‎

‎1936. Rare typed letter signed by Albert Einstein. One page typescript text in German. The letter is dated 19 June 1936 and addressed to Dr. Hugo Bergman Hebrew University Jerusalem and reads: Lieber Herr Bergmann: Ueberbringer dieses Briefes ist "Seine amerikanische Heiligkeit" Rabbi Silberfeld von Newark New Jersey ein guter Bekannter von mir. Zuhause aller Wege kundig nicht aber in Palaestina. Es ware lieb von Ihnen wenn Sie ihm ein paar Winke gaben damit er sich dort zurechtfindet. Herzlich grusst Sie Ihr "A. Einstein." This translates as: Dear Mr. Bergmann: The bearer of this letter is "His American Holiness" Rabbi Silberfeld of Newark New Jersey a good friend of mine. At home he knows all the ways but not in Palestine. It would be nice of you if you gave him a few hints. yours "A. Einstein." Einstein's close personal friend Rabbi Julius Silberfeld was the rabbi of Temple B'nai Abraham in Newark New Jersey from 1902 to 1939. After it became clear that he could not return to Germany with Hitler's rise to power during his 1933 visit to the United States Einstein resided in England and Belgium for several months before returning to the U.S. where he accepted a position at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton New Jersey noted for having become a refuge for scientists fleeing Nazi Germany. It was here that he likely met and formed a close bond with Rabbi Silberfeld. The recipient of the letter Hugo Bergmann was the first rector of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem between 1935 and 1938 which Einstein was instrumental in establishing in 1925 and was among its first Board of Governors. The letter is in near fine condition with a small paper clip imprint. Desirable with noted provenance.

Einstein created the theory of relativity and was also one of the founders of quantum theory.

‎Autograph Letter Signed ALS Denouncing Racial Segregation‎

‎Princeton NJ: np 1943. First edition. nb. Fine. EINSTEIN OFFERS STRONG AND PRESCIENT WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT TO THE LEADER OF THE NAACP IN THE FIGHT AGAINST RACISM AND SEGREGATION IN THE UNITED STATES. Background: Einstein's fight against racial discrimination in the United States: The imperative "to protect the rights of the individual. was Einstein's most fundamental political tenet. Individualism and freedom were necessary for creative art and science to flourish. Personally politically and professionally he was repulsed by any restraints. "That is why he remained outspoken about racial discrimination in America. As a Jew who had grown up in Germany Einstein was acutely sensitive to such discrimination. 'The more I feel an American the more this situation pains me' he wrote in an essay called 'The Negro Question' for the January 1946 issue of Pageant magazine. 'I can escape the feeling of complicity in it only by speaking out.'" Isaacson Albert Einstein 505. Even more directly in his 1946 commencement speech to Lincoln University the first degree-granting Historically Black College and University HBCU in the United States Einstein strongly denounced segregation as "an American tradition which is uncritically handed down from one generation to the next" noting that "There is separation of colored people from white people in the United States. That separation is not a disease of colored people. It is a disease of white people. I do not intend to be quiet about it." This remarkable letter - from 1943 - is one of the earliest examples of his interest in condemning racism in the United States. The letter: Dated 22 September 1943 and handwritten on his embossed Mercer Street Princeton letterhead Einstein writes in English to Walter F. White the enormously influential African-American civil rights leader who led the NAACP from 1929-1955 praising him for his work and revealing his own awareness of and frustrations with racism and prejudice in America. 
 The text reads in full: Dear Mr. White: I have been quite impressed by the address you delivered some years ago at a meeting of the Princeton Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. I know how hard it is to awaken the conscience even of good-hearted and well-meaning people when deep rooted prejudices are in the way. It is a great work indeed which you are doing relentlessly for the betterment of the living conditions of our Colored fellow-citizens for justice and for the accomplishment of national unity of the American people. With sincere respect and kind wishes Yours Albert Einstein ------------- On April 28 1940 White was the keynote speaker at "an inter-racial meeting sponsored by the Princeton branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People" where his topic was "What Happens to Democracy When It Encounters the Color Line." Princeton Herald April 26 1940. At the time Princeton did not admit African Americans and the community was debating the question of whether or not to end segregation at the university. Princeton in fact did not admit its first African-American student until the fall of 1947. Einstein - writing in 1943 - notes that he heard White speak "some years ago". Something clearly must have deeply impressed Einstein about White's speech for him to write this thoughtful letter to White over three years after the event. Note: In addition to its content this apparently unpublished letter is also remarkable for being one of the very few letters Einstein hand-wrote in English during this period as German was still very much his preferred tongue. Princeton: September 22 1943. One page on Einstein's embossed Mercer Street Princeton letterhead 7.25x10 in visible handsomely matted and framed with a photograph of Einstein.
