EINSTEIN, ALBERT - Relativity; The Special & the General Theory; A Popular Exposition
London, Methuen & Co. Ltd.. 1920, 1st English edition. (Leatherbound) Near fine. xiii, [3], 138pp, [2], 8pp. 12mo. Rebound in striking red leather; spine with raised bands ruled in gilt, each compartment with decorative device in gilt, author and title compartments lettered in gilt; top and bottom boards with simple single-rule border in gilt. Binding tight; seemingly scarcely opened. Top-edge gilt. Foxing to fore-edge and bottom-edge. Foxing to half-title; else with only occasional spot of foxing at fore-margin and bottom-margin, corresponding from edge. Internally remarkably clean. Portrait frontispiece. Diagrams, formulae. With original 8pp of adverts bound at rear. An exceedingly collectible copy of this seminal work; truly, the importance of this work cannot be overstated. In specific regards to this edition, in addition to being the First English translation of Einstein's paradigm shifting work, it includes new text which was written by Einstein specifically for this edition at the request of the translator (Appendix III: "The Experimental Confirmation of the General Theory of Relativity"). The fourth appendix, "The Structure of Space according to the General Theory of Relativity," didn't appear in an English edition until the 14th edition (1946). [Relativity, 100th Anniversary Edition, Princeton UP, p.xx].
