Paynes Seventh Quadrille

Edward Payne was one of the most influential dancing masters of the Regency Era.
He is not to be confused with James Paine of Almacks. Payne seems to have significantly influenced the dancing master and author of numerous dancing manuals, Thomas Wilson.

Edward Payne died at the end of 1818 or the beginning of 1819 before he could see the
success of his dances. Payne was teaching Waltzes in 1815.

Payne's Seventh Set was probably published in 1815. The figures he proposes are:
