| Notes | Note from visiting researcher, Autumn 2025:
None of the Caledonian books contain 100 pages as stated in the catalogues.
Vol.II Part I starts on p.5 and has 96pp.
Vol.II Part II starts on p.13 and has 88pp.
Vol.II Part III starts on p.13 and has 88pp.
Book 4, 2nd Ed. starts on p.5 and has 96pp.
This latter is not part of Vol.II Parts I-III with which it is bound, but comes from Walsh’s previous set of Caledonian dance books of which we have:
[Book 1]
[Book 1], 2nd Edition
[Book 1], 3rd Edition
Book the Second
Book the Third
Book the Fourth, 2nd Edition
These are the 4 books advertised on all three title-pages of Vol.II Parts I-III as “Just Publish’d”.
It is not clear why Walsh chose to start these books on page 5 or page 13, but there are no entries in the accompanying Alphabetical Tables before these page numbers, so it is not a question of missing pages. It is a practice particularly associated with his Caledonian collections: in the earlier series, Book 1 started on p.5 and Books 2 & 3 on page 13. |
