Excerpt from The Country Dance Book, Vol. 4: Containing Forty-Three Country Dances From the English Dancing Master, (1650-1728)
A diagram, showing the initial disposition of the dancers, is printed at the head of the notation of each dance, and placed so that its four sides correspond with the four sides of the room as depicted in the above plan. That is, the upper and lower sides of the diagram represent, respectively, the right and left walls of the room; its left and right sides the top and bottom.
