1929Best.-Nr. 6551Berlin: Verlag der Akademie der Wissenschaften in Kommision bei Walter de Gruyter U. Co 1929. First separate edition. Fine. 6 pages in printed wraps. Not exactly an "offprint" since the pages are numbered from 1 and the pamphlet is given its own title page this is considered the first separate edition of a paper Einstein published in the periodical of the Prussian Academy. It is considered Einstein's initial effort having established general and special relativity to find a unified theory uniting gravity and electromagnetism a problem he struggled with for his remaining life.

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.

"Verhandlungen der Deutschen Physikalischen Gesellschaft im Jahre 1914. Sechzehnter Jahrgang. Hrsg. von Karl Scheel." Einstein paper pp. 820-828. Internally clean and fine. The whole volume offered First edition. In this paper "Contributions to quantum theory" two considerations are given which are interrelated by a common goal inasmuch as it is attempted to derive two of the most importent achievementss of quantum theory viz. Planck's radiation law and Nernst's third law of thermodynamics in a new manner. The proofs do not involve Boltzmann's equation and are thus based enterely on macroscopic thermodynamics. They do introduce however the quantum hupothesis. Einstein points out that the alleged 'proofs' which try to derive the theorem of Nernst from the mere fact that the heat capacity of all substances goes to zero at absolute zero temterature are not genuine.

Willard Gibbs is not mentioned. In fact Einstein's paper was written in ignorance of Gibbs paper published 1901. In the present paper Einstein builds the theory on another basis not used by Gibbs namely on the consideration of a single system in course of time later called "Zeit-Gesamtheit" time assembly and proves that this is equivalent to a certain virtual assembly of many systems Gibb's micro-canonical assembly.Einstein at once proceeded to apply his theorems to a case of utmost importance namely to systems of a size suited for demonstrating the reality of molecules and the correctness of the kinetic theory of matter."Walter Alicke.

All papers first edition. In the first paper "Thermodynamical derivation of the photochemical equivalence" Einstein calls "the law of photochemical equivalence" the statement that the decomposition of one gram equivalent of any substance by a photochemical proces demands the radiation energy of 'Nhv' where N=the Avogadro number. In this paper he demonstrates how this law is deducible by purely thermodynamical arguments if certain olausible assumotions are made. Lanzos. - The second paper "Concerning the theory of a static gravitational field" states that the 'equivalence hypothesis' permits us to come to very definite conclusions about the behaviour of a static gravitational field. - The next Einstein paper gives an answer to J. Stark as Stark claimed priority to the photochemical equivalence law. - In the last paper "Relativity and Gravitation. Reply to a remark of M. Abraham" Einstein elaborates his answer to the critique of M. Abraham. - Weil Nos 46 1-2 a. 48. - Planck Akademie No 95. hardcover
1906Best.-Nr. 46956Leipzig Johann Ambrosius Barth 1906. No wrappers. Extracted from "Annalen der Physik" Vierte Folge. Bd. 20. Pp. 199-206. Clean and fine. 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. unknown

First Edition. Weil 115. HBS52699.

Here he gave his famous answer to the puzzling question of why mathematics should be so well adapted to describing the external world: "Insofar as the Laws of Mathematics refer to the external world they are not certain; and insofar as they are certain they do not refer to reality" D.B.S.
