Mrs. Crump sat in a little bar, profusely ornamented with pictures of the dancers of all ages, from Hillisberg, Rose, Parisot, who plied the light fantastic toe in 1805, down to the Sylphides of our day.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
