Memoir of Madame Jenny Lind-Goldschmidt, Vol. 1 of 2: Her Early Art-Life and Dramatic Career, 1820-1851 (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Memoir of Madame Jenny Lind-Goldschmidt, Vol. 1 of 2: Her Early Art-Life and Dramatic Career, 1820-1851The following memoir tells its own tale, and requires no further explanation. The justification that we offer for the date at which it closes is given in the body of the book. Nothing therefore remains for the Preface to deal with beyond a few matters, chiefly personal, upon which it may be well to say a word.It will be seen from the title-page that the whole of the materials used in these two volumes have been procured, and sifted, and sanctioned by the one who alone could act with complete, intimate, and legitimate authority. Everything possible has been done under this competent and exact scrutiny to secure that the memoir should be trustworthy and authentic; and, for further warrant, the sources whence the materials have been drawn have been continually recorded in the Notes.For the use made of the materials thus industriously collected, the two authors are solely responsible; and this general responsibility they have shared in common, so far as was practicable. Put, within that common responsibility, each has undertaken separate sections of the work, so that to the one has fallen the story of Madame Goldschmidt's life so far as it belonged to Sweden, together with that part of it which followed her farewell to the stage: while the other has taken in hand the whole of her dramatic and musical career in its European development.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
