1916rif. 189311Leipzig: Johann Ambrosius Barth 1916. The foundation of general relativity First separate edition first issue of the work presenting the finalized version of general relativity. The Grundlage was also published in the Annalen der Physik in 1916 but Weil clarifies that the separate publication is now accepted as the earliest published edition of the paper. Einstein had almost finalized the general theory of relativity in 1913. However an error led him to contend that his equations could not be covariant - that they could not be applied without a system of spacetime co-ordinates devised by humans and therefore contextually specific. His first attempt at an overall presentation of the theory as delivered in 1914 was based on this assumption. By 1915 his subsequent reflections had driven him to reapply covariance and in November he published several papers outlining covariant field equations of general relativity. The present work adapts the comprehensive perspective of the 1914 paper with the revised mathematics of the 1915 equations to present "the first systematic exposition of general relativity" Janssen p. 1. Tilman Sauer notes that "in essence Einstein's general theory of relativity of 1916 remains today's accepted theory of the gravitational field" p. 24. This copy includes all the necessary first issue points: the imprint "Druck von Metzger & Wittig in Leipzig. 314" on the title page verso; Ziehen's Die Psychologie as the last title listed in the publisher's advertisement on the rear wrapper; and the imprint "Metzger & Wittig Leipzig" on the rear wrapper. Octavo. Device to title page formulae in the text. Original tan vertically ribbed wrappers printed in black. Light browning and rubbing several small ink spots to foot of front cover wrappers neatly re-glued to block contents crisp: a very good copy. Norman 696; Printing and the Mind of Man 408; Weil 80a.

1916rif. 19266Leipzig: J.A Barth 1916. FIRST SEPARATE EDITION. Original printed wrappers on rippled paper; wrappers and interior soiled and spotted mostly likely with minor water damage. From the library of Einstein protege Dr. Kurt Eisenmann with his siganture and stamps. First separate printing of Einstein’s classic paper. Not an offprint from the Annalen der Physik as is often thought but a completely new setting of type with significant and important additions and revisions including an introduction published here for the first time which was not in the journal issue.

"From 1905 through 1909 Einstein published five major papers on the hypothesis of energy quanta its theoretical implications and its use in the explanation of various phenomena. Among these papers we have his importent paper "Die Plancksche." and in his second paper from 1906d he asserted that Planck's derivation implicitly assumes quantification of the enrgies of charged oscillators. Now in the paper offered he returned to this question showing that if the structure function in phase space he had introduced earlier is assumed to restrict the oscillators to orbits with energies that are integral mulætiples of 'hv' then the average oscillator energy in a canonical ensemble yealds Planck's law when substituted in eg. The works contains the first systematic introduction of probability factors in the mathematics of Quantum Theory.The second paper represents Einstein's third stage in dealing with brownian motion. He had previous explained the zigzag motion of suspended particles and looked as this penomenon from a more general angle. In the present investigation he extends his reults to all macroscopic parameters by giving a general principle for the calculation of theit fluctuations.
