2. Following Butterfield's Herbert The Whig interpretation of history (London, 1931, and New York, 1965), we might class the following as examples of histories of physics written by the victorious faction: von Laue Max, History of physics, trans. Oesper Ralph (New York, 1950), 71–74; also Laue's Die Relativitätstheorie (2 vols. Braunschweig, 1955); Born Max, Einstein's Theory of Relativity, rev. ed. with Leibfried G. and Biem W. (New York, 1962), first German edition in 1920 and first English translation by Brose H. L. in 1924; Gamow George, Biography of physics (New York, 1961), and numerous other titles; Infeld Leopold, Albert Einstein: His work and its influence on our world (New York, 1950), and other titles, some in collaboration with Einstein; Pauli Wolfgang, Theory of Relativity, trans. Field G. (Oxford, 1958), first published in German in 1921 as a review article for a mathen. ical encyclopedia. On the other hand, examples of what I should call the “Tory” interpretation, emphasizing continuity and tradition and conservatism toward the idea of progress in science, might include the following: Wightman William P. D., The growth of scientific ideas (New Haven, 1951); Gillispie Charles C., The edge of objectivity: An essay in the history of scientific ideas (Princeton, 1960), esp. Epilogue; Cajori Florian, A history of physics in its elementary branches including the evolution of physical laboratories (rev. ed., New York, 1929); and Jaki Stanley L., The relevance of physics (Chicago, 1966).
