The first, treating of the proper positions and different attitudes for men and women, from which all the steps are to be taken and performed; adorned with instructive figures: with a description of the menuet figure, shewing the beautiful turns and graceful motions of the body in that dance. The second, of the use and graceful motion of the arms with the legs in taking the proper movements and forming the contracts, with figures for the better explanation. The whole containing sixty figures drawn from the life, and curiously engraved on copper plates. Done from the French of Monsieur Rameau, by J. Essex, dancing-master.
