Description: Foreshadowing the growing trend of late nineteenth-century dance manuals to reduce discussion on etiquette, Roweʼs treatise contains absolutely no information on the subject but begins directly with information on the quadrille. This book, advertised for 25 cents, is far less extensive than most published during the 1870s.
