First edition.<\/p>\n
Printed in Parma by Bodoni at the time when Moreau de Saint-M\u00e9ry (1750-1819) was appointed ambassador in Italy. During his stay he had assembled some notes under the title “notions coloniales”. These notes remained largely unpublished but the Moreau extracted his notes on dance and them produced by the famous printer.<\/p>\n
“Dans ce d\u00e9licieux morceau, d\u00e9di\u00e9 aux Cr\u00e9oles, Moreau retrace bri\u00e8vement l’\u00e9volution de la danse, et \u00e9tudie le rapport qui existe entre elle et le climat, les moeurs et les habitudes d’un peuple, pour arriver \u00e0 une vive peinture de la danse sous les tropiques, et presqu’exclusivement aux Antilles, o\u00f9 elle devient, chez les Cr\u00e9oles, une sorte de fr\u00e9n\u00e9sie” (Elicona, Moreau de Saint-M\u00e9ry, p.145).<\/p>\n
