 +**THE DUKE OF KENT'S WALTZ**\\ 
 +Edward Augustus, 1767-1820, was the fourth son of 
 +George III and father of Queen Victoria. He was made 
 +Duke of Kent in 1799 and was commander-in-chief of the 
 +forces in British America in 1799-1800.\\ 
 +During the 1790's, country dances to waltz tunes began to appear in English books. 
 +This waltz country dance commemorating the Duke was found in a coverless book 
 +at the British Library, which Jacqueline Schwab has since identified in the course of 
 +her work preparing a bibliography of published English country dances, 1700-1830,
