A fine fresh copy in the rare off-print form marked with an asterisk by Weil, denoting a major paper ("Sonderabdruck") & deemed of sufficient interest that a translation was published in Nature Magazine. "Einstein's attempts to formulate a unified field theory [the theoretical framework to account for the fundamental forces of nature.] stemmed from his dissatisfaction with the general relativity theory, which did not adequately incorporate the electromagnetic field into the geometry of space-time".

Riemann-Geometrie mit Aufrechterhaltung des Begriffes des Fernparallelismus. Berlin: Verlag der Akademie der Wissenschaften, 1928. 4to., 7pp. Orange wrappers. A very fine copy of this uncommon offprint. First Edition; the rare off-print from the "Sitzungsberichten". 'The general relativity theory splendidly justified his work. In this mathematical apparatus developed from Riemann's address, Einstein found the frame to fit his physicals ideas, his cosmology, and cosmogeny; and the spirit of Riemann's address, was just what physics needed: the metric structure determined by physical data'. -cf. DSB XI, 447-456 (Riemann)Weil No.161; Schilpp-Shields No. 217; Alicke No. 139. The early Offprints from "Sitzungsberichten." are called "Sonderabdruck" up to Weil No.165 (including this). From Weil 166 they are called "Sonderausgabe.". - Before 161 (up to 160) the Offprints do not… Read More

Berlin: Sitzungsberichten der Preussischen Akademie der Wissenschaften, 1922. First Thus. First Thus. Einstein, Albert (1879-1955). Zur Theorie der Lichtfortpflanzung in dispergierenden Medien. Complete. Quarto. Offprint from Sitzungsberichten der Preussischen Akademie der Wissenschaften. Berlin: 1922. First edition in very fine condition. This superb offprint is a separate printing of the Prussian Academy's session reports, here with independent pagination. A small number of such off prints were presented to the author by the publisher as voucher copies. References: Schilpp-Shields 162; Weil 120. This paper gives evidence that Einsteins ideas on the photon were not able to contradict classical theory. "Since, after 1917, Einstein firmly believed that light-quanta were here to stay, it is not surprising that he would look for new ways in which the existence of photons might lead to observable deviation from the classical picture. In this he did not succeed. At one point, in 1921, he thought he had… Read More
