 +**MR. ISAAC'S MAGGOT**\\
 + "The late Mr.Isaac had the Honour to teach and instruct our late most
 +gracious Queen [Anne] when a young Princess, [in the
 +1670's],
 +
 +A dancing master named Isaac instructed the
 +French court in English country dances in 1686 and "Les Folies d'Isac was printed
 +with diagrams in Feuillet’s Recuéil of 1706 and is closely related to this dance
 +Although it seems reasonable to do so, without further proof we canno: confidently
 +link the French references to the London master, especially since another master
 +with a similar name, M. Le Sac, was active in the same period:
