Note:
Page order of the book is slightly strange. Page order, as described in Little-Marsh catalogue: title page — dedication — 22 unnumbered plates, each containing four numbered images, containing instructions for dancing country dances and choreographies for 10 of them — pages numbered 9–17, containing choreographies for 5 more country dances (each page contains one image) — 8 unnumbered pages containing choreography for “The Princess Passpie”. The original book might have passpied preceding the 5 country dances (this will make numbers on 9–17 make sense), but since there exactly one known copy of this book (it is held in the British Library), this can't be confirmed
