First edition, the rare offprint of a talk given by Einstein at the University of Glasgow during his peripatetic summer after the Nazi take-over of Germany.

Einstein spent much of the early 1930s on extended visits to the United States, and the first Gestapo raid of his Berlin flat occurred in February, 1933 while he was a visiting professor at Caltech. The Nazi Enabling Act was passed in March as Einstein travelled back to Europe, and on arriving in Antwerp he officially renounced his German citizenship. After a short stay in Belgium he toured the UK, during which time he was presented with an honorary doctorate by the University of Glasgow, where he gave this non-technical talk on the 20th of June. In October Einstein returned to the US and joined Princeton's Institute for Advanced Study, where he spent the remainder of his career.

12-page wire-stitched pamphlet; ink ownership signature to title, a little light spotting to the contents, minor crease affecting the wrappers and contents, staples a little rusty, excellent condition.
