Arthur Szarvassi's
paper,
Szarvassi
1909,
claims to show that
Lorentz's
equations
for the
electromagnetic
field lead
to
a
violation
of
the
principle
of
conservation
of
energy
in the for-
mulation
of
that
principle
that Szarvassi
gives.

Einstein here
briefly
summarized his
argu-
ment in Einstein 1907h
(Doc. 45),
§ 1, pp.
373-
377.

Szarvassi defined
i|/
as
the
density
of
poten-
tial
energy
of
the
system
to
which the
principle
of
conservation of
energy
is
applied (see
Szar-
vassi
1909, p. 811).
