A new and splendid work on dancing, etiquette, deportment, and the toilet.cBy Charles Durang.30aBall-room instructor  aPhiladelphia,bFisher & Brotherc[c1856]  aviii, 9-192 p.bincl. front., illus., plates.c12 cm.  aAlthough Charles Durang was a well-known Philadelphia dancing teacher and the son of famed American dancer John Durang, very little of this manual originates from the pen of the author. He acknowledges that the dances contained in the book are by the "celebrated teachers of Paris and London." Additionally, the sections on etiquette, deportment, and dress stem from "Mrs. Henderson's treatise." The manual includes descriptions of the popular ballroom dances of the day--quadrilles, polka, waltz, schottisch, gorlitza, and Cellarius waltz.  aAvailable also through the Library of Congress Web site as facsimile page images and full text. 0aBallroom dancingvHandbooks, manuals, etc. 4aDance Instruction and Technical Manuals.41dmusdif063uhttp://hdl.loc.gov/loc.music/musdi.063qs
