DANCING AT HOME AND ABROAD (CLASSIC REPRINT)

Excerpt from Dancing at Home and AbroadIn the use of the term enlightened, I am aware that I have made a rent in my armor whereat certain critical porcupines may dart their quills, but as I am not writing in a controversial spirit, and only with an earnest desire to uphold the dignity and advance the interests of my art, I do not fear to meet any fair-minded criticism, and was for any antagonism, founded on prejudice, and sustained by partiality, I trust to the liberality and sense of justice of my readers to place it where it belongs.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
