**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,
