British astrophysicist (1882–1944) famous for his work regarding the theory of relativity. ALS signed “A. S. Eddington,” one page, 4.25 x 7, blindstamped Observatory, Cambridge letterhead, March 4, 1929. Letter to renowned German philosopher and physicist Moritz Schlick, founding member of the Vienna Circle. In part: “I think that at the moment my publishers are in communication with Springer but I have not heard that anything has been decided. I think it is best to get a German publisher to communicate with the Cambridge University Press…it only causes confusion, if I am personally arranging with them whilst the Press is negotiating with various publishers. I may, however, say that it would be a great pleasure to me if the translation were brought out under your auspices, as, of course, I know you well as an authority.” Toned tape remnants to right edge and mild foxing to top, otherwise fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope, addressed in Eddington’s hand. RR Auction COA.
