1921176803Berlin: Prussian Academy 1921. One of the scientist's most celebrated mathematical texts inscribed to a colleague First edition rare author's presentation offprint inscribed by Einstein shortly after publication to Professor Friedrich Fritz Behrend 1878-1939 of the Prussian Academy of Sciences where the lecture was first delivered. The paper includes Einstein's celebrated aphorism: "As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality they are not certain; and as far as they are certain they do not refer to reality." This copy is inscribed in ink on the first page "Mit freundlichen Gruss Albert Einstein. 1. III 21" with a portion of the original address label laid in postmarked 2 March 1921. Einstein and Behrend corresponded in the early 1920s; their relationship was close enough for Behrend to ask Einstein to act as guarantor on a loan in December 1924 a request Einstein politely declined Collected Papers letters 568 and 596. The presentation offprint is distinguished from the trade issue by the printed statement "Überreicht vom Verfasser" on the front cover. Einstein delivered this lecture on the foundations and applications of geometry to the Prussian Academy on 27 January 1921 the year he received the Nobel Prize in Physics. In what DSB describes as a "particularly beautiful lecture" he set out his mature views on the geometrization of physics and relativity the distinction between pure and applied geometry and the priority of empirical over a priori claims. The paper stands as his most considered response to Poincaré's challenge that the universe's geometry could never be proved and it later came to be regarded by logical empiricists as a paradigm-defining text. Quarto 8 pages pp. 123-30. Original orange printed wrappers. With portion of original address label laid in inscribed "Herrn Prof Dr Fritz Behrend Preuss. Akademie der Wissenschaften Unter der Linden 38". Housed in a black quarter morocco solander box with chemise by the Chelsea Bindery. Light central crease from folding partial postmark to rear where address label once affixed: a very good copy. Weil 114.

192117649Berlin: Verlag Von Julius Springer 1921. First Trade Edition. Wraps. Very good. The first trade edition of Geometrie Und Erfahrung Geometry and Experience by Albert Einstein from the collection of Einstein's English translator Dr. Wilfrid Perrett. Octavo 20pp. Publisher's original wraps bound with two staples. Light soiling and wear on wraps internally clean. Includes two illustrations advertisements on verso of rear flap. Staples showing rust some wear to edges of original wraps. Weil 115 Schlipp-Shields 143 This copy is signed by Wilfrid Perrett on the front cover. This work first appeared in the Sitzungsberichte der Preussischen Akademie der Wissenschaften accompanied by an "author's offprint" which was bound in orange wrappers. Weil 114. This work is the first separate trade edition. The recipient of this copy Dr. Wilfrid Perrett worked with Dr. George Barker Jeffery to translate many of Einstein's most notable works into English. Perrett was a "distinguished German scholar" and would "overlook the literary side of the work" while Jeffery would oversee the mathematical translations. The two worked together on Das Relativitätsprinzip On the Relativity Principle beginning in 1922 and numerous other works by Einstein over his career. Jammer 113-114.

1921395921921. S.ber. Akad. Wiss. Berl. 1921/ 5. - Berlin 1921 8° pp.103-166 orig. Broschur; unaufgeschnittenes frisches Exemplar. The quite rare first edition and first appearance in print rarely found in this fine condition unopened and in original wrappers! During the early years of the second decade of this century Einstein was also concerned to clarify misconceptions about the theory of relativity and to present his views on natural sciences on a less abstract level. Among the efforts in this direction his particular beautiful lecture on "Geometry and Experience" stands out. At the Prussian Academy's commemorative session honouring Frederick the Great founder of the Academy Einstein delivered this lecture in which he summed up his views on the geometrization of physics and relativity and the relation of mathematics to the external world. 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. The lecture was extended to book form. cf. W.Alicke. Weil No.114; Schlipp-Shields No.148 unknown
