Transcription:
/books/gourdoux_daux_1823/transcription
Note:
Two different variants of Gourdoux' surname can be found. Early (published before 1823) books and book reviews give his surname as Gourdoux (or just J. H. G.), while his later publications [Gourdoux-Daux, 1823] and reviews give his name as Gourdoux-Daux. First names can be defined by comparing address of 1823 edition [Gourdoux-Daux, 1823] with this Ordonnance du Roi about giving the certificate pour un cheval mécanique to Jean-Henri Gourdoux. Should not be confused with Gourdoux-fils

Note:
There are no pages 6–9; pagination jumps straight from 4–5 to 10–11, while text remains continuous. Most of the book can be dated circa 1890. Crompton's “Guide to Modern Dancing” is advertised in the June 8, 1891 issue of the periodical “Dancing”. However, the typeface of the titles changes at page 84, and the end of this book is believed to be added material and the edition is of later time. It includes “King Edward’s Lancers” (pages 90–91), and there is no reason to have anything devoted to king Edward before his accession in 1901. A similar edition with different contents past page 84 can be found [Crompton, 1891?].
