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.

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

192639022Berlin: Das Kunstarchiv Verlag 1926. First edition. Softcover. g. Quarto. 36pp. Original printed wrappers. Catalog published on the occasion of an exhibition of paintings and drawings by George Grosz held during the Spring of 1926 in Berlin at the Galerie Alfred Flechtheim. This catalog features 24 duo-tone and b/w photographic reproductions. Includes a poem by Gottfried Benn and four essay on the artist and his work by Carl Einstein Marc Neven Max Herrmann and Florent Fels. Some age-wear and moderate soiling on wrappers. Upper corners bumped thus slightly affecting pages throughout. Text in German gothic script with one of the four essays in French. Wrappers in overall good- to good interior in good to very good condition. Alfred Flechtheim 1878-1937 was a German art dealer art collector journalist and publisher. Flechtheim appeared in the art world shortly after 1900 with a collection of paintings by Vincent van Gogh and Paul Cézanne; French Avant garde early works of Pablo Picasso Georges Braque and André Derain; paintings of Wassily Kandinsky Maurice de Vlaminck Alexej von Jawlensky Gabriele Münter and the Rhein Expressionists Heinrich Campendonk August Macke Heinrich Nauen de and Paul Adolf Seehaus de. Flechtheim opened his first gallery in Düsseldorf in 1913 followed by galleries in Berlin Frankfurt Cologne and Vienna. Flechtheim served in the German Army during World War I but not at the front. His art business collapsed during the war but he re-opened in Düsseldorf in 1919. In 1921 he founded "Der Querschnitt" the Cross Section a cultural magazine. Legendary glamorous parties in Flechtheim's gallery overflowed with the glitterati of the new Berlin: movie stars titans of finance prizefighters and artists of every stripe. As Hitler rose to power in the late 1920s and early 1930s Flechtheim became a bête noire because of the art he espoused and championed. In 1933 Sturmabteilung men broke up an auction of Flechtheim's paintings. The Nazis aryanized Flechtheim's gallery as they would many other Jewish businesses and turned it over to Flechtheim's business manager Alex Vömel. After the war former party member Vömel said he didn't even remember who Flechtheim was. The Nazis seized and sold off Flechtheim's private collection as well as the contents of his gallery. Emigration and Death Six months after the Nazis came to power in 1933 Flechtheim penniless fled to Paris and tried to find work with his former business partner Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler. Flechtheim subsequently organized exhibits in London of the paintings of exiled German artists. In London Flechtheim slipped on a patch of ice was taken to a hospital punctured his leg on a rusty nail in his hospital bed developed septicemia leading to amputation of his leg and died.

19151200Braunschweig: Friedr. Vieweg & Sohn 1915. 1st Edition. FIRST EDITION FULL BOUND VOLUME OF THE EINSTEIN-DE HAAS EFFECT -- an experimental observation that illustrates the relationship between magnetism and angular momentum and in which a change in the magnetic moment causes the rotation of a free body. In this 1915 paper Albert Einstein and Wander de Haas report that changing the magnetization of a suspended iron rod by applying an external magnetic field leads to mechanical rotation of the rod - a result that still stands as a textbook illustration of the relationship between magnetism and angular momentum. Papers by Planck The Quantum Hypothesis for Molecules with Multiple Degrees of Freedom von Laue Warburg Siegbahn and Born are also present. <br /> <br /> Einstein had long contemplated Ampère's 1820 conjecture that magnetism is caused by the microscopic circular motions of electric charges. In light of this Einstein and de Haas devised an experiment to test not just Ampère's hypothesis but also "Lorentz's theory that the rotating particles are electrons. The aim of the experiment was to measure the torque generated by a reversal of the magnetization of an iron cylinder" Calaprice Einstein Almanac 52. <br /> <br /> In the experiment Einstein and de Haas designed "a magnetic material was suspended with the aid of a thin string inside a magnetic field coil. When the magnetic field was increased by the application of an electric current through the field coil the magnetic material is magnetized. In order to keep the total magnetic moment of the magnetic material constant the latter rotates. This classical Einstein-de Haas effect demonstrates that the spin angular momentum is of the same nature as the angular momentum of rotating bodies as conceived in classical mechanics" Ganzhorn Nature Communications 7 11443 2016. <br /> <br /> Einstein spoke enthusiastically of the experimental results he and de Haas has achieved stating that they had "given firm proof of the existence of Ampère's molecular currents" Pais Subtle is the Lord 245. <br /> <br /> ALSO INCLUDED: Papers by Planck "Die Quantenhypotese für Molekeln mit mehreren Freiheitsgraden" and "Bemerkung über die Entropiekonstante zweiatomiger Gase" as well as a paper by von Laue "Die Einsteinischen Energieschwankungen" CONDITION & DETAILS: Braunschweig: Friedr.
