Halbledereinband der Zeit; feines Expl. First and original edition of Einstein's famous lecture in a well preserved copy. By 1913 Einstein had reached a temporary impasse following the publication of his and Marcel Grossmann's "Entwurf einer Verallgemeinerten Relalitivitätstheorie.". but his view on the need for generalising the Special Theory aroused great interest and in September he but them before the 85th Congress. held in Vienna. The auditorium was packed with scientists anxious to hear about a theory even more outlandish than Special Relativity. In some ways they were disappointed. Instead of the esoteric explanations they had expected there came one of Einstein's minor masterpieces of simple statement an account in which he compared the development of the various theories of gravitation with the development of successive concepts of electricity.

The occasion was the Centenary Year of Thomson's birth and Einstein wrote 'Zum hundertjährigen Gedenktag von Lord Kelvins Geburt 26. Juni 1824'. In the mid-nineteenth century Thomson's ideas on thermodynamics established the base line for future generations of scientists. Likewise in 1905 Einstein changed the world of physics forever with the publication of his radical new ideas on special relativity."We may learn from Einstein the philosopher of his interest in the founding scientists of the nineteenth century such as Kelvin and Maxwell of science being not only about instrumentation mathematics and formulae but also about sharing in the aspirations and achievements of other scientists past or present."

"Einstein's attempts to formulate a unified field theory stemmed from his dissatisfaction with the general relativity theory which did not adequately incorporate the electromagnetic field into the geometry of space-time.

A fine fresh copy in the rare off-print form marked with an asterisk by Weil denoting a major paper "Sonderabdruck" & deemed of sufficient interest that a translation was published in Nature Magazine. "Einstein's attempts to formulate a unified field theory the theoretical framework to account for the fundamental forces of nature. stemmed from his dissatisfaction with the general relativity theory which did not adequately incorporate the electromagnetic field into the geometry of space-time". Einstein's first investigation of Weyl's ideas published in the present paper which Weyl had begun working on in 1918. Weyl was investigating the possibility of constructing a unified field theory preserving the dimensionality of space-time while formally altering its geometry making it a special case of the class known as affine geometries. However Einstein later rejected Weyl's theory. "Weil No. 132; Schilpp--Shields No. 171; Alicke No.113; Norman Library 698; Boni 141. Affine Geometry is not concerned with the notions of circle angle and distance. It's a known dictum that in Affine Geometry all triangles are the same. In this context the word affine was first used by Euler affinis. In modern parlance Affine Geometry is a study of properties of geometric objects that remain invariant under affine transformations mappings. Affine transformations preserve collinearity of points: if three points belong to the same straight line their images under affine transformations also belong to the same line and in addition the middle point remains between the other two points."

1923rif. 374071923. Einstein Albert 1879-1955. Zur affinen Feldtheorie. Offprint from Sitzungsberichte der preussischen Akademie der Wissenschaften 17 1923. 137-140pp. 256 x 185 mm. Original printed wrappers. Fine. First Edition Offprint Issue. In 1923 Einstein published four short papers of which "Zur affinen Feldtheorie" is the third on Eddington's attempt at a unified field theory marking the beginning of a scientific passion that would dominate the remainder of his career. In 1921 British physicist Arthur Eddington had proposed a unified field theory inspired by the work of Hermann Weyl. "Einstein's own initial reaction was that Eddington had created a beautiful framework without content. Nevertheless he began to examine what would be made of these ideas and finally decided that 'I must absolutely publish since Eddington's idea must be thought through to the end.' That was what he wrote to Weyl. Three days later he wrote to him again about unified field theories: 'Above stands the marble smile of implacable Nature which has endowed us more with longing than with intellectual capacity.' Thus romantically began Einstein's adventures with general connections adventures that were to continue until his final hours" Pais Subtle is the Lord p. 343.
