ref. 124211Glasgow Jackson Wylie and Co. 1933. . 12-page wire-stitched pamphlet; ink ownership signature to title a little light spotting to the contents minor crease affecting the wrappers and contents staples a little rusty excellent condition. Rare Einstein offprint in English. First edition the rare offprint of a talk given by Einstein at the University of Glasgow during his peripatetic summer after the Nazi take-over of Germany. Einstein spent much of the early 1930s on extended visits to the United States and the first Gestapo raid of his Berlin flat occurred in February 1933 while he was a visiting professor at Caltech. The Nazi Enabling Act was passed in March as Einstein travelled back to Europe and on arriving in Antwerp he officially renounced his German citizenship. After a short stay in Belgium he toured the UK during which time he was presented with an honorary doctorate by the University of Glasgow where he gave this non-technical talk on the 20th of June. In October Einstein returned to the US and joined Princeton's Institute for Advanced Study where he spent the remainder of his career. Glasgow, Jackson, Wylie and Co., 1933. unknown

2005ref. CNAP071San Francisco: The Arion Press 2005. Hardcover. New. 10-1/2 by 8 inches eighty pages. Printed by letterpress from lead-alloy type cast in the Mackenzie & Harris typefoundry the formulas were set by hand as was the display type while the prose was composed and cast in Monotype.

The paper is Schiller a German mouldmade sheet. A pixelated portrait of Einstein is the frontispiece. This image is based on a photograph taken about 1910 rendered as a coarse halftone for reference then handset in units of six-point type: three sizes of solid squares and one centered dot. Over 4000 pieces of type make up the picture. The portrait is printed in gray as is the famous equation: E=mc2 which appears on the flyleaves. The binding is dark blue cloth over boards with a band of tie-dyed Thai paper to create an unusual spatial effect spanning the cover diagonally. The titling on the spine is stamped in silver foil. The edition is limited to 400 numbered copies for sale. One of the great achievements in science Albert Einstein's Theory of Relativity was set forth in two papers published in the Leipzig physics journal Annalen der Physik in 1905. The German text was translated into English in 1923 by W. Perrett and G. B. Jeffrey and this is the version with some later corrections that is presented in this book. The Einstein papers are annotated by Richard Muller who has also provided a foreword and afterword. The foreword gives a general overview of the problems Einstein addressed against the background of nineteenth-century physics. The afterword carries the story from the miraculous year of 1905 when Einstein was only twenty-six through the effects of the theory on twentieth-century science. Muller conjectures on the progress of physics had Einstein not appeared and considers his career as a whole its last thirty-five years devoted mainly to an unsuccessful attempt to create a unified field theory. ___POSTAGE: International customers please note that additional postage may apply as the standard does not always cover costs; please inquire for details. ___Swan's Fine Books is pleased to be a member of the ABAA ILAB and IOBA and we stand behind every book we sell.
