My Musical Life and Recollections. First edition, presentation copy, inscribed warmly and amusingly by the author on the verso of the title page, "Anno 1898-99, to Mrs. Baker with compliments and best wishes from the author Rivière. P. S. as a musical conductor I have been beating the time for the last fifty years, but alas! Now, in my 80th year time beats me unmercifully".
