ASSOCIATION COPY, owned by Einstein's publisher, Walter Johnson. Einstein's articles published in the 1905 volume of Annalen der Physik are the most important of his earlier career. Einstein himself described the first article as "very revolutionary" and its ideas developed in the third article of this volume, formed the foundation for his later theory of relativity. Boni, Russ and Laurence, A Bibliographical checklist...of Albert Einstein, no. 7,8, and 9; Grolier/Horblit 26b.
