| Notes | COMPLETE TITLE: A Treatise on the Art of Dancing. By Giovanni-Andrea Gallini, Director of the Dances at the Royal Theatre in the Haymarket. PUBLISHER: Printed for the Author; And Sold by R. and J. Dodsley, in Pall Mall; T. Becket, in the Strand; and W. Nicholl, in St. Paul's Church-Yard. The text borrows heavily from previous works and especially from Noverre (Lettres sur la Danse, et sur les Ballets (see)) and from Weaver (An Essay Towards a History of Dancing (see)). The volume presents a history of dancing, a discussion on the reasons for learning the art of dancing, and a discourse on the minuet. Also interesting are Gallini's observations on European and extra-European dancing. LATER EDITIONS: - London, Printed for the Author; And Sold by J.
