EINSTEIN, Albert (1879-1965). "Folgerungen aus den Capillaritätserscheinungen." In: Annalen der Physik, 4 Folge, Band 4, 1901, pp. 513-523. Leipzig: Johann Ambrosius Barth, 1901.
8o. Contemporary half cloth. Provenance: Vienna, Radetzky Realschule (ink stamp on title).
FIRST EDITION, Journal issue. Einstein's first published paper, which deals with intramolecular forces. Pais 'Subtle is the Lord'... (p. 57) notes that this paper "shows how, from the start, Einstein was groping for universal principles, in the present case for a relation between molecular forces and gravitation." In the paper Einstein concludes, "It should be noted that the constant C increases in general but not always with increasing weight. Therefore, the question if and how our [intramolecular] forces are related to gravitation must for the time being be kept completely open." BRL 1; Weil 1.
