Coulon, 1808-
Coulon's hand-book; containing all the last new and fashionable dances ... By Coulon ... - 3d ed. - London, Jullien & Co. [1860?] - xii, 99, [1] p. front. (port.) illus. 13 cm.
This third edition of Coulon's manual describes dances popular during the 1840s. Typical of many nineteenth-century ballroom manuals, much of the material is borrowed from other contemporary sources. It is not known whether or not famed French dancing master Eugène Coulon contributed to the work. Small enough to fit into a pocket, the manual begins with a discussion of the polka and includes directions for various ballroom dances including the mazurka quadrille, polka mazurka, schottisch, "La Cellarius," gorlitza, various quadrilles and other group dances such as "La Tempète" and "Sir Roger de Coverley." The manual concludes with directions for the "Menuet de la Cour." An expanded version of this work was published in 1873.
