Excerpt from Dancing and Dancers: Or Grace and Folly
The opinions expressed in the following pages on various matters directly or indirectly connected with dancing are not in any way restricted by the conventional notions that are usually entertained respecting such matters. The book, therefore, is in no sense to be regarded as a ball-room guide. On the contrary, whatever information it contains is chiefly of a kind that is not be found in ball-room guides, or, indeed, in any work on dancing that has hitherto been published.
All facts, except such as I have been fortunate enough to discover by observation, are given on good authority, and may be accepted as true; but the inferences drawn from them are simply my own, and should, of course, be assented to only when it appears that satisfactory reason is given for my way of thinking.
