Not that this is what Einstein did in 1911. He didn't have the full theory of GR at that time. He was really just relying on the "principle of equivalence".
A nice discussion of all this, including an idea of what this means, can be found at the link below. 7/9

In 1915 Einstein revised his prediction based on the full theory of GR. This gave twice what he (Cavendish & Soldner) originally predicted. *This* is what Eddington confirmed. But... one final note. 8/9
