(Professor) The ball-room monitor, or, Guide to the learner; containing the most complete sets of quadrilles ever published. By Professor C. Brooks. Ball-room monitor 3d ed., with additions. Philadelphia, J. H. Johnson [c1866] 63 p. 13 cm. Like many other nineteenth-century dance manuals, much of the material in The Ball-room monitor is not original but is borrowed from previously published sources. The manual, which would fit into a pocket, contains information on quadrilles (called cotillions by Brooks), waltz, polka redowa, and schottisch. Additionally, the manual contains numerous variety quadrilles--polka quadrilles, schottisch quadrilles, Polaca quadrilles, Varsoviana quadrilles, and a mazurka quadrille.
