Letterpress on machine paper in original publisher’s brochure on orange-coloured stock with black title printing. First journal issue in the original printed wrappers of Einstein's paper about the energy of a gravitational field. – Contents: ""Einstein in this present paper answers criticisms of his conservation law in general relativity and the pseudotensor used to express it first expressed in »Hamiltonsche Prinzip und allgemeine Relativitatstheorie« 1916. He argues that an integral form of the law is appropriate and shows that the integral of a closed system's total energy is invariant and conserved and can be measured only far from the source. The pseudotensor played the key role in his analysis of gravitational waves.""

1619réf. 5711KLeipzig: Johann Ambrosius Barth Omnitypie-Ges. Nachfl. L. Zechnall Stuttgart; Metzger & Wittig Leipzig Wrappers 1916 but c. 1919. Near Fine. 8vo. 16: 24 3 cm. 64 pages. Letterpress on machine paper in original publisher’s wrappers on cream stock with black title printing on covers and spine incorporating publisher's emblem and ornamental framing on front cover as well as publisher's advertisements on rear cover. Particularly rare early anastatic reprint of the first separate edition of Einstein's first and most important synopsis of his general theory of relativity. – Edition Contents: „In mid-January 1916 Einstein had still expressed doubts about his ability to write such a paper calling his writings ""correct but quite indigestible"" ""zwar richtig aber reichlich unverdaulich."" Einstein to H. A. Lorentz 17 January 1916“. But a „few months after the final papers had appeared 4 papers of Nov. and Dec. 1915 where he finally had completed the theory of general relativity as a logical structure note WoP Einstein was ready to spend some time writing a review paper in which the whole theory was presented and explained in a consistent and accessible way . It gives an excellent overview of the theory.“ cf. Einstein Papers. For present synopsis Einstein also made substantial additions published here for the first time. „Einstein’s paper of March 1916 concludes with a brief section on the three new predictions: the red shift the bending of light and the precession of the perihelion of Mercury. In the final paragraph of that section is recorded the single major experimental confirmation which at that time could be claimed for the theory: the Mercury anomaly. In 1916 next to nothing was known about the red shift; the bending of light was first observed in 1919.“ cf. Paise – The paper was first printed on May 11th 1916 in the special interest journal »Annalen der Physik« series 4 vol. XLIX issue no. 7 pp. 769-822 and probably simultaneously as separate printing in book form by the Leipzig editor Barth titled »Sonderdruck« enlarged with an introduction by Einstein and a table of content. Edited in this way and therefore more accessible for a broader audience of interested lay people the Barth book edition of Einstein's probably most important achievement in the history of science became popular and was reprinted several times until 1929. According to Weil present first reprint from 1919 is of better printing quality than others and is bound in the original paper wrappers of the 1916 edition with an updated publisher's ads list of 5 available titles appearing between 1911 and 1918. – Condition: Former faults and tears at margins of front and rear cover skilfully restored front cover with shelf wear paper time-stained otherwise clean copy. – Rarity: Scarce in trade.

1941réf. 2142520/12/1941. Brigitte Kaufmann was born in Germany but when the Nazis came to power in 1933 she fled to Paris. In France Kaufmann worked as an actress under the name of Brigitte Châtel and translated documents. She met her future husband Alfred Alexander-Katz in Paris and they married in 1939; the following day her husband was taken to an internment camp. He was given the choice of being interned in a labor camp or joining the Foreign Legion and chose the latter. Alexander was then sent to Clermont in Vichy France and the family relocated there. Dr. Walter Rudlin was a social science professor at Sarah Lawrence College in New York and actively involved in anti-fascist activities. He was the author of “The Growth of Fascism in Great Britain”. In September 1942 he left his position and joined the U.S. Board of Economic Welfare whose chair was Vice President Henry Wallace. His wife Eryl was interested in bringing Jews in Europe out of harm’s way and she knew the Alexander-Katz family. So Eryl sought to get Brigitte and her family safely out of Europe to Mexico and sought Einstein’s help. On March 12 1941 Einstein responded noting that Brigitte is his relative. “Thank you very much for your letter of March 11th. I am very gratified indeed to learn that our mutual friends Fred and Brigitte Alexander-Katz have some prospect to receive a visa into Mexico. I am certainly willing to vouch for their reliability and integrity both personal and political. I have known Mrs. Brigitte Alexander-Katz - whose family is related to mine - since she was a little girl. Her husband a very able engineer will certainly be useful to any country which receives him. If you will send me the address of the proper Mexican authority I shall gladly send any letter of recommendation desired.” This was a warm letter indeed expressing true concern and friendship for the Alexander-Katz family. On April 3 1941 Einstein again wrote Rudlin noting “Enclosed I am sending you the requested letters in the hope that they may be successful.” But there were delays and no visa so Rudlin wrote Einstein seven months later asking him to take the matter up with the Mexican government. Typed letter signed on his blind-embossed letterhead Princeton December 20 1941 to Mrs. Eryl Rudlin saying that he expects the visa to be granted but does not feel he ought to approach the Mexican government directly. “The Mexican authorities know that I am interested in the case of the Alexander-Katz family; they have kept me informed about the whole development of the matter. I have no doubt that admission to Mexico will be granted as it has been granted to hundreds of people in the same situation. I can give Mr. Alexander-Katz a recommendation but it is out of the question that I ask the Minister of Education to send him an official invitation. I have already done what could be done without intrusion.” Despite what he writes here to calm Mrs. Rudlin Einstein might have exerted some gentle pressure on Mexico by contacting the Mexican ambassador to the U.S. Gilberto Bosques; or the Alexander-Katz visas may have already being granted at that moment. The Einstein Archives is silent on this subject. But soon after Einstein soon wrote this letter in 1942 a telegram to the young Alexander-Katz family arrived stating that Einstein and Rudolph Uhlman a lawyer in New York had secured visas through Ambassador Bosques for them to escape to Veracruz Mexico aboard the ship San Thomé. In Mexico Brigitte she became a noted author actress director and translator. She became the first woman in Mexico to produce and direct television programs. Speaking five languages she also worked as a translator for UNESCO and Amnesty International. Her daughter Susana and granddaughter Sophie also became actors. unknown
