2005Best.-Nr. 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 types are Modern for the text with special characters as needed for mathematical symbols; Egyptian for the interspersed annotations printed in blue; and Lining Gothic for display. 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.

1918Best.-Nr. 135751918. Mathematics Klein Felix. Autograph Letter Signed 10 November 1918 written in German to a former student and colleague directly references Einstein's recently published General Theory of Relativity and comments on the work of the International Mathematical Education Commission. Composed in the closing days of the First World War the letter places Klein within active scholarly exchange concerning the mathematical implications of relativity which had been formally presented in 1915 and widely disseminated by 1918. Klein long established for his foundational contributions to group theory non-Euclidean geometry and mathematical physics addresses questions raised by "Einstein's theory" noting that he required further reflection to clarify its implications for his own work. The document supports research in the history of relativity German mathematical networks scientific communication during wartime and the institutional organization of mathematics in the early twentieth century. Klein Felix. Autograph Letter Signed 10 November 1918. Two pages written on both sides of a single leaf. In German with accompanying English translation. Addressed to a former student the letter discusses the circulation of lecture manuscripts difficulties in securing copyists during wartime conditions and the intellectual demands posed by Einstein's theory: "A further exploration of my work does not exist yet as I had and still have more thinking to do about questions raised by Einstein's theory to clarify it for myself." Klein also comments critically on the IMUK observing that its published statements are "a display of wasted paper" while acknowledging the commission's broader social significance. He singles out contemporary educational treatises including studies by W. Trost Heinrich Emil Timerding and M. Girndt indicating his sustained engagement with mathematical pedagogy alongside theoretical research. The letter was written days before the November Revolution in Germany and at a moment when academic institutions faced political upheaval and material shortages. Klein's remarks regarding limited copyists and uncertainty about the coming months provide contemporaneous evidence of scholarly life under strained postwar conditions. His reference to Einstein situates the correspondence within the earliest phase of professional reception of general relativity among leading mathematicians while his comments on the International Mathematical Education Commission underscore his longstanding commitment to mathematical instruction and institutional reform. Clean and well preserved with strong legibility and a clear signature. Overall near fine condition. A substantive document of early relativity discourse and mathematical research at the end of the First World War. unknown books

1948Best.-Nr. 3094Princeton: np 1948. first edition. Very Good. ONE OF EINSTEIN'S MOST DIRECT STATEMENTS ON GOD: A POWERFUL AND CONCISE PRECURSOR TO HIS CELEBRATED "GOD LETTER". In the letter dated September 25 1948 and addressed to the Indiana University student Barbara Homans Einstein writes: "I believe that the idea of a personal God is too anthropomrphic sic and childlike to be considered seriously. We have to content ourselves with that modest insight which is accessible to us." The letter is a strikingly concentrated statement of Einstein's religious philosophy. In two sentences he rejects the notion of an anthropomorphic personal deity while setting against it a characteristically modest view of human knowledge: rather than claiming access to metaphysical certainty "we have to content ourselves" with the limited understanding available to us. That formulation places the letter squarely within one of the most important recurring themes of Einstein's later correspondence: his distinction between conventional belief in a personal God and his own sense of awe before the rational order of the universe. Six years later in his famous letter to the philosopher Eric Gutkind of 3 January 1954 Einstein would return to the same subject in far greater detail describing the word "God" as an expression of human weakness and rejecting traditional religious conceptions with exceptional directness. Christie's described the Gutkind letter as Einstein's most fully articulated statement of his religious and philosophical views; it sold in 2018 for $2892500 at Christie's. The present letter is remarkable because the essential position of the later "God Letter" is already present here in distilled form. The shared target is the anthropomorphic personal God: a conception Einstein repeatedly rejected while maintaining that a profound sense of wonder before the structure of nature could still be called religious. It is a direct statement of Einstein's mature religious philosophy anticipating the central argument of the 1954 "God Letter" by more than five years. Typed letter signed "A. Einstein" to Barbara Homans. Princeton 25 September 1948. One page 8 1/2 x 11 in typed on Einstein's Princeton stationery with embossed address at head; signed "A. Einstein" in ink. Folded for mailing with light toning and a few small stains. np unknown books
