1918rif. 5721KBerlin: Verlag der Königlichen Akademie der Wissenschaften in commission at Georg Reimer Reichsdruckerei 30th May 1918. Near Fine. Imperial 8vo 26 5: 19 cm. 11 pages numbered 448-459. 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.""

1619rif. 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.
