Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing many of these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

This volume contains Parts I and II of the original works. The purpose of this book is primarily practical. Its design is to place before those who are interested in the revival of our national dances some examples of a particular type of folk dance which has not perviously attracted the attention of collectors, and to present these in such a form that they may be learned without the aid of a special instructor and by those who have never seen the dances performed. No trouble was spared to note the dances with all possible accuracy, and to find simple and unambiguous language in which to describe them.

Set 1 Contains London Bridge, Old Roger, Walking Up The Hillside, Oats And Beans, Three Dukes. In Five Sets.
