The volume before us, besides his biography, contains a critical analysis of his compositions and a quantity of interesting details concerning his portraits, his violins, &c., &c.

9This little brochure, which was written on the occasion of the Universal Exhibition at Vienna, and dedicated to the Archduke Ranieri as President of the Imperial Commission for the Exhibition, is simply a short biography of the violin-maker, Johannes Franciscus Pressenda, a fiddle-maker who, being a pupil of Storioni, though seemingly of some repute in his own city (Turin), was comparatively unknown in this country until his name and his work were brought before the musical world in connection with the case of Hodges v. Chanot (vide post). It was then that this pamphlet became known to a few English collectors, and, of course, under the circumstances connected with that case, possessed considerable interest for those interested therein. It is in duplicate, i.e. the original Italian is followed by a German translation. The author claims to be a pupil and fellow-worker of Pressenda, on which fact he bases his claim to be his biographer. I knew Rinaldi in Turin in 1886, when he appeared to be in robust health, but I understand that he died about three years ago.
