Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

To the majority of people Einstein's theory is a complete mystery.
Their attitude towards Einstein is like that of Mark Twain towards
the writer of a work on mathematics: here was a man who had written
an entire book of which Mark could not understand a single
sentence. Einstein, therefore, is great in the public eye partly
because he has made revolutionary discoveries which cannot be
translated into the common tongue. We stand in proper awe of a man
whose thoughts move on heights far beyond our range, whose
achievements can be measured only by the few who are able to follow
his reasoning and challenge his conclusions. There is, however,
another side to his personality. It is revealed in the addresses,
letters, and occasional writings brought together in this book.
These fragments form a mosaic portrait of Einstein the man. Each
one is, in a sense, complete in itself; it presents his views on
some aspect of progress, education, peace, war, liberty, or other
problems of universal interest. Their combined effect is to
demonstrate that the Einstein we can all understand is no less
great than the Einstein we take on trust.
