1920149244London: Methuen & Co. Ltd 1920. First British edition of Einstein's ground-breaking work. Octavo original red cloth frontispiece of Einstein illustrated with five diagrams. In very good condition with toning to the spine. Translated by Robert Lawson. It can hardly be disputed that the theories put forth in this book are among the most important in the history of modern science. "The imprint of Einstein's work on the different areas of physical science is so large and varied" writes Gerald Holton in a recent assessment "that a scientist who tries to trace it would be hard put to know where to start" Simmons The Scientific 100. Methuen & Co. Ltd hardcover

19215136166150><p><strong>EINSTEIN Albert.</strong> <em>Relativity: The Special and the General Theory.</em></p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p> Henry Holt and Company hardcover
