"On the Theory of Relativity: Analysis of the Postulates" AND BOUND WITH "Some Emission Theories of Light", in Physical Review, 1912

Carmichael, R.D. "On the Theory of Relativity: Analysis of the Postulates" and bound with:__+__ Tolman, Richard C. "Some Emission Theories of Light", both in the Physical Review, volume 35, 1912, pp 136-143 and 153-176, respectively, in the bound volume for July-December of 494pp. Also: an interesting paper by Arthur L. Foley and Wilmer Souder, "Photographing Sound waves", with five photo plates, pp 375-386. Bound in green cloth. Provenance: U.S. Geological Survey, with their bookplate. Although an ex-library copy, the only markings are the bookplate, a paper "strap" on the front paste down, and an old paper label on the spine.__+__ Scarce--early issues of the PR are not much around. __+__ Carmichael published at about this same time in 1912 a paper of the same title in the Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society; his book Relativity, published in 1913, is the first book to be published on the subject.__+__ It looks like the first relativity-related paper appears in the PR in 1908 with Gilbert Lewis "Non-Newtonian Mechanics" , vol 27 p 578. and then in vol 28 again, this time with Lewis writing with Richard Tolman ("Non-Newtonian Mechanics and the principle of Relativity"). There seem to be only seven other papers on relativity in the PR preceding these two (of 1912). According to Lecat's "Bibliographie de la Relativite" (1924) there were about 396 papers related to relativity published om scientific journals 1905-1911, 11 of which were published in the U.S.…
