ROSSINI. [STENDHAL. Marie-Henri Beyle]: - Memoirs of Rossini. By the Author of The Lives of Haydn and Mozart.

London: Printed for T. Hookham..., 1824. FIRST EDITION. 8vo, 208 x 130 mms., pp. xlii, 287 [288 Errata], including half-title, engraved portrait of Rossini as frontispiece, contemporary half calf, marbled boards; lacks label, top and base of spine chipped, joints a little rubbed. Marie-Henri Beyle apparently used over one hundred pseudonyms, but he is best-know as Stendhal, even though that pseudonym doesn't appear on the title-page. The French original was published in 1823, and the translator of this English edition is unknown. Rossini was, of course, still alive when the work was published, having been born in 1792 and living to the age of 76.
