Title: The ball-room manual of contra dances and social cotillons
Description: The publisher of this tiny manual (called a "vest pocket edition") notes that of the many books available to the dancing public, few contain "the good old contra dances of our ancestors." To remedy the situation, the manual gives figures for fifty-six English country dances, group dances consisting of figures performed by a column of men facing a column of women.
Subjects: Miniature books, Specimens, Ballroom dancing, Handbooks, manuals, Dance Instruction and Technical Manuals
