Abstract

(i) THE “Principle of Relativity “is for the most part a translation of a German collection of memoirs-” Das Relativitatsprinzip (Teubner, fourth ed., 1922). It includes a reprint of H. A. Lorentz's Amsterdam paper (1904), as well as a translation of an extract on Michelson's experiment from his Leyden memoir (1895) further, A. Einstein's fundamental papers on the restricted theory of relativity (1905) and the general theory of relativity (1916), as well as his shorter papers on inertia and energy (1905), Hamilton's principle (1916), cosmological considerations and the gravitational field (1917), and gravitational fields and the structure of matter (1919); then H. Minkowski's lecture on space and time to the assembly of German Men of Science and Physicians (1908); and finally H. Weyl's paper on gravitation and electricity (1918).
