This is a compilation by Dick and Fitzgerald of previously published sources on ballroom dance. Although advertised as a ballroom prompter, only one page is devoted to calling figures in a quadrille. The book contains rudimentary etiquette advice and dance instructions for numerous dances including the grand march, quadrilles, contradances such as "Virginia Reel," "Pop Goes the Weasel," "Spanish Dance," and "Sicilian Circle." Also described are various round dances such as the polka, polka redowa, modern plain waltz, Boston Dip, varsovienne, and galop. The manual concludes with 104 figures for the popular parlor game, the German (also known as the cotillon)

Fine complete copy of this rare edition. Knecht was the sole pupil of Senefelder. The present work had its origins in the 1827 manual by Bregeaut. That manual was revised and augmented by Knecht and Jules Desportes in 1850 (see Twyman, Lithography, p. 264). The present work, while still based on Bregeaut, is largely a new work, completely rewritten and incorporating the subjects listed in the title above. It is listed in Twyman's bibliography, p. 267. The plates are also new and include one chromolithograph (imprimé sur les machines a vapeur systeme Dupuy, Passage du Desir, 3, Paris). (Charles Wood, cat. 167, # 146).
