Albert Einstein autograph letter signed with his hand drawings, elegantly explaining his electrostatic theory of special relativity to a physics teacher struggling to reconcile it with experiments he was conducting. In addition to the letter, which is new to the market, Einstein generously replies to a series of questions the teacher asks him on a questionnaire, providing additional drawings and calculations, initialed ”A.E.” at the conclusion. Dated 4 September 1953 on Princeton’s Institute for Advanced Study letterhead, Einstein writes to Arthur L. Converse, the teacher from Malcolm, Iowa, in part, ”There is no difficulty to explain your present experiment on the basis of the usual electrostatic theory. One has only to assume that there is a difference of potential between the body of the earth and higher layers of the atmosphere, the earth being negative relatively to those higher layers…[Einstein then draws Earth and the atmosphere, referring to it for clarification] The electric potential p rises linearly with the distance h from the surface of the earth…For all your experiments the following question is relevant: How big is the electric charge produced on a conductor which is situated in a certain height h, this body being connected with the earth…” Einstein then answers Converse’s questions on a two-page questionnaire. In one answer, Einstein seems to disagree with the question, providing both a diagram and mathematical equation and then a ”?” to try to aid understanding. He later writes ”not clear” to one answer along with a question mark and additional diagram with the notation ”charge of elektroscope increased proportional to h”. An extraordinary lot by Einstein showing the generosity of his time, with rare content on his theory of special relativity. Single page letter and two-page questionnaire each measures 8.5” x 11”. Also included is Einstein’s original mailing envelope from ”Room 115” of the Institute for Advanced Study, postmarked 7 September 1953 from Princeton. Folds and very light toning to letter, otherwise near fine. Questionnaire has folds, light toning and staple mark, otherwise near fine with bold handwriting by Einstein. Dark Albert Einstein autograph. With an LOA from the nephew of Arthur Converse and new to the market.Sold for $53,504.

Rare Sir Isaac Newton first edition ”The Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy” in two volumes. London: Benjamin Motte, 1729. One of the most important works by the leading mind of the 18th century scientific revolution. Bound in contemporary tree calf, sympathetically rebacked, with gilt tooling to spines. Two octavo volumes measure 5.5” x 8.5” each. Volumes contain two folding letterpress tables and 47 folding engraved plates; the two frontispieces and pp. 385-393 and first 7pp. of index are replaced in facsimile, but hardly distinguishable from the original. The ”Laws of Moon’s Motion” usually found in Vol. II are here bound at end of Vol. I, and with errata for both volumes on verso of E4. Small stain to inner part of title in Vol. I, short tear to lower margin of G1, small section missing from lower margin of M3 and with lower corner cut away of A8 and C4 of ”Laws of Moon’s Motion” (no loss of text). Some marginal dampstaining and occasional soiling and spotting, overall in very good, clean condition with most edges untrimmed. Excellent Isaac Newton first edition. Sold for $22,500.

Lively autograph letter signed by Nobel winning quantum physicist pioneer Max Planck, who writes to fellow physicist Paul Epstein. Dated 19 January 1938, Planck muses on the first law of thermodynamics (before it was recognized as such), responding to Epstein’s mention of the 18th century scientist Albrecht von Haller learning that liquid warms by shaking. On Planck’s personal stationery, letter in German reads in full, ”Dear Doctor! / Your kind letter of the 17th of this month and the attached article on the background of the first fundamental theorem gave me great pleasure, for which I thank you sincerely. Concerning the content of your essay, your mentioning of [Albrecht von] Haller’s finding that ‘water, as well as milk, when moved vigorously, could reach a certain degree of warmth,’ was of particular interest to me. I remember exactly one of the stories told by my teacher in Munich, Philipp [von] Jolly, who was personally acquainted with J. R. [Julius Robert von] Mayer, relating that one day Mayer had burst into his room exclaiming, full of a discoverer’s joy, that water could be warmed by means of vigorous shaking. So someone else had already arrived there first after all. / But your letter made me happy in personal terms as well, since it was the first direct sign of life from you after some time. I am in awe about how much, considering your weakened physical condition, particularly with respect to your vision, you are still able to achieve. Many would envy even your firm handwriting. May this mental acuity remain with you during the new year as well. Very warm regards. / Yours respectfully, / M. Planck”. Two page letter on a single sheet measures 5.875” x 7”. Single fold, staple puncture and light toning. Very good condition. Sold for $2,500.
