CONTENTS: I. `Michelson's Interference Experiment` by H. A . Lorentz. II. `Electromagnetic Phenomena in a System Moving with any Velocity Less than that of Light` by H. A . Lorentz. Ill. `On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies` by A. Einstein. IV. `Does the Inertia of a Body Depend Upon its Energy-Content?` by A. Einstein. V. `Space and Time` by H. Minkowski. VI. `On the Influence of Gravitation on the Propagation of Light` by A. Einstein. VII. `The Foundation of the General Theory of Relativity` by A. Einstein. VIII. `Hamilton's Principle and the General Theory of Relativity` by A. Einstein. IX. `Cosmological Considerations on the General Theory of Relativity` by A. Einstein. X. `Do Gravitational Fields Play an Essential Part in the Structure of the Elementary Particles of Matter?` by A. Einstein. XI. `Gravitation and Electricity` by H. Weyl.
`The book constitutes an indispensable part of a library on relativity,` Nature. `It is really a thrill to read again the original papers by these giants,` School Science and Mathematics. `Warmly recommended,` Quarterly of Applied Mathematics.
