Since this supplementary paperback includes only select portions of Volume 10, it is not recommended for purchase without the main volume http: //www.pupress.princeton.edu/titles/8331.html.The first half of this volume presents a substantial amount of heretofore unavailable correspondence.

Einstein travels to Leyden, where he is appointed a visiting professor and where, in the circle of friends such as P. Ehrenfest, H. A.
