ROUSSEAU (Jean Jacques): - Dictionnaire de Musique. Collections Complete des Oeuvres de J. J. Rousseau, ave Figures en taille-douce. Nouvelle Edition, Soigneusement revue & corrigée. Tome Dixieme [&] Onzieme.

A Neuchatel, De l'Imprierie de Samuel Fauche..., 1774. 2 volumes. 8vo, pp. xvi, 508; [iv], 372 [373 - 376 contents], 13 folding engraved plates of music at the end of volume 2 [onzieme], contemporary mottled calf, spines ornately gilt in compartments, morocco labels; spine a little rubbed and chipped at tops, corners and edges worn. Rousseau finished this work in 1764, the date at the end of the Preface, and it was first published in Paris in 1768. The title of the work actually appears as half-title with a general title-page in each volume for an edition of Rousseau's works. As with most continental printings of Rousseau's works, the volumes on music were often issued separately, retaining, however, the general title-pages for the volumes, a problem which Ralph Leigh discusses in Unsolved Problems in the Bibliography of Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1990).
