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.

First printing of Einstein's paper on Lord Kelvin and his scientific work. The occasion was the Centenary Year of Thomson's birth and Einstein wrote 'Zum hundertjährigen Gedenktag von Lord Kelvins Geburt (26. Juni 1824)'. In the mid-nineteenth century Thomson's ideas on thermodynamics established the base line for future generations of scientists. Likewise in 1905, Einstein changed the world of physics forever with the publication of his radical new ideas on special relativity.""We may learn from Einstein the philosopher, of his interest in the founding scientists of the nineteenth century such as Kelvin and Maxwell, of science being not only about instrumentation, mathematics and formulae but also about sharing in the aspirations and achievements of other scientists, past or present."" (Trainer, Einstein's Centenary Tribute) The volume contain several other papers by influential contemporary phycisians. Weil 140.
