‎All papers first edition. In the first paper ""Thermodynamical derivation of the photochemical equivalence"", Einstein calls ""the law of photochemical equivalence"" the statement that the decomposition of one gram equivalent of any substance by a photochemical proces demands the radiation energy of 'Nhv' (where N=the Avogadro number). In this paper he demonstrates how this law is deducible by purely thermodynamical arguments, if certain olausible assumotions are made. (Lanzos). - The second paper ""Concerning the theory of a static gravitational field"" states that the 'equivalence hypothesis' permits us to come to very definite conclusions about the behaviour of a static gravitational field.. - The next Einstein paper gives an answer to J. Stark, as Stark claimed priority to the photochemical equivalence law. - In the last paper ""Relativity and Gravitation. Reply to a remark of M. Abraham"" Einstein elaborates his answer to the critique of M. Abraham. - Weil Nos 46 (1-2) a. 48. - Planck, Akademie No 95.‎
