FYI: More old dance manuals online and free

People were talking about Thomas Wilson books that are kept at the
strathspey server and I just wanted to point out a newly discovered
resource of _many_ more of the old dance books.

The resource is at http://www.archive.org/details/danceman . I could
not find any scottish country dancing books specifically, but it has a
great many of English country dance books. For example, it has two
books by T. Wilson, neither of which seem to be on Anselm's list (at
least by title)
http://www.archive.org/search.php?query=subject%3A%22Authors%3A%20T%3A%20T.%20Wilson%20%22

And there are other interesting books on that server in a different
section. For example:
"The Caledonian Tea-Table Miscellany; Choice Songs. at
http://www.archive.org/details/1808cttm

And also "Reminiscences of Scottish life and character" at
http://www.archive.org/details/reminiscencesof00ramsmiss
This one might even have some explanations of 'outwith'.......

Regards,
   Alex.
