Einstein took the opportunity to publish an English-language version of the original German edition when interest in general relativity exploded, after the theory was confirmed experimentally by Arthur Eddington’s eclipse observations in 1919.
Translated by physicist Robert Lawson from the third German edition of 1918, the 1920 English edition was the first to feature an important new appendix by Einstein on Eddington’s work – ‘The Experimental Confirmation of the General Theory of Relativity’ – not present in any previous edition
