Excellent, Early Bibliography on Relativity Theory--Maurice Lecat, 1924

Maurice Lecat. Bibliographie de la Relativité, suivie d'un appendice sur les déterminants à deux dimensions, le calcul des variations, les séries trigonométriques, et l'azéotropisme. Bruxelles, Lamertin, 1924. 292+47 pp. Nicely rebound in linen, with the original wrappers bound in. The 47 addition pages is the appendix "Bibliographie des Determinants a Plus de Deux Dimensions". Fine copy, wide-ish margins. SOLD
