Volume 1 — CHAPTER V.
Reading edition
SECT. I.—Dancing forbidden—light in which this subject has been viewed both by the ancients and the moderns—Quakers principally object to it, where it is connected with public assemblies—they conceive it productive, in this case, of a frivolous levity, and of an excitement of many of the evil passions.
SECT. II—These arguments of the Quakers, on dancing, examined in three supposed cases put to a moral philosopher.
SECT. III.—These arguments further elucidated by a display of the Ball-room.
