Excerpt from Dancing in All Ages
Athenaeus, Pausanias, the Roman historians, and, somewhat warily, Lucian. Among modern authors, I am indebted to Wilkinson, Birch, Rawlinson, Miiller, and Donaldson; while the technical writers who have afforded the greatest assistance are, I think, J ehan Tabouret, Rameau, and Noverre. The above mentioned, however, are only a few among many authors, ancient and modern, to whom due acknow ledgment is made in the text. To the observant reader it will also be evident that much information has been gathered from the study of sculptures, pottery, pictures, and other archaeological and modern exhibits to be found in museums and art galleries both at home and abroad.
