Publisher's
Foreword
We
are
pleased
to be
publishing
this
translation of
Volume 5
of
The Collected
Papers
of
Albert Einstein.
Every
effort
has
been made
to
ensure
the
scientific
accuracy
of
this
translation,
but
it
is
not
intended
for
use
without
the
original-language
documentary
edition, which
provides
the
extensive
editorial
commentary
necessary
for
a
full
historical
and scientific
understanding
of
the
source
documents.
We
are
grateful
to
Dr. Anna
Beck and
Professor Don Howard for their
continuing
efforts
and
dedication
to this
project.
All
translations
in this volume
were
prepared
by
Dr.
Beck
in
consultation
with
Professor
Howard; all
translations
in
the
documentary
edition
were
prepared separately
by
the editors of that
volume.
This volume
was
prepared
with the aid
of
a
grant
from the
National
Science
Foundation
to the
Einstein
Papers
Project.
