Note 4 — Chapter I · INTRODUCTORY

Mrs Lilly Grove (now Lady Frazer) and other writers, Dancing, p. 8 (1895); elsewhere in the same volume the writers say: “There must have been a period of the world’s history when every action in life, every game, every banquet, every dance, was a game, a repast, a dance, in honour of the gods,” p. 15. The evidence entirely bears this out if we take “gods” as meaning supernatural powers in general.
