This copy from the library of British physicist Leslie Fleetwood Bates 1897-1978 who did his doctoral work under Ernest Rutherford at Cambridge and became a specialist in ferromagnetism. Einstein's general theory of relativity 'one of history's most imaginative and dramatic revisions of our concepts of the universe' was completed in a frenzy of work at the end of 1915 Isaacson Einstein: His Life and Universe p. 223. The following year he published in German Relativity: The Special and the General Theory an account intended to be accessible to the general public and which he tested by reading drafts to his stepdaughter Margot. Einstein took the opportunity to publish the present English language edition when interest in general relativity exploded after the theory was confirmed by Arthur Eddington's eclipse observations in 1919. This edition includes an important new appendix on Eddington's work titled 'The Experimental Confirmation of the General Theory of Relativity' that was not present in the previous German edition.

1921Best.-Nr. 5136166150> EINSTEIN Albert. Relativity: The Special and the General Theory. New York: Henry Holt and Company 1921. "3rd Large Printing." Octavo. Original blue cloth lettered in gilt on the front board. Portrait frontispiece of Einstein. Original publisher's dust jacket printed in black on tan paper. Cloth exceptionally clean and bright for this title the gilt lettering sharp; minor wear at extremities. Dust jacket with a moderate chip at the crown of the spine extending slightly into the upper panel smaller chips and short closed tears along edges and general toning consistent with age. Near Fine in Very Good- jacket. Einstein's celebrated non-technical exposition of his revolutionary theory written to explain the principles of relativity to an educated general audience. First published in German in 1916 and translated into English by Robert W. Lawson in 1920 the work quickly became the most widely read introduction to modern physics in the early twentieth century and played a major role in disseminating Einstein's ideas beyond the scientific community. Copies of the early Holt printings rarely survive in their original jackets which were printed on thin paper and typically discarded or heavily worn through use. The present example a 1921 "3rd Large Printing" represents an unusually early survival in dust jacket. At the time of cataloguing only one earlier jacketed printing appears to be offered on the market making this among the earliest obtainable examples of Einstein's landmark work in its original publisher's jacket. The survival of the jacket combined with the remarkably clean cloth makes this a particularly desirable example of one of the foundational popular works of twentieth-century science.
