+**BATH CARNIVAL and KEPPEL'S DELIGHT**\\
+Bath, the famous spa where much of Jane Austen's Northanger Abbey takes place,
+was the subject of many late eighteenth-century dances.
+Porter substituted a tune named in honor of Augustus, 1st Viscount
+Keppel (1725-1786) who accompanied George Anson on a voyage around
+the world in 1740-1744 and was made vice-admiral in 1770. He was court-martialed in
+but the charge was dismissed as "malicious and ill-founded,"
+prompting considerable public sympathy and probably this dance title as well.
