Title-page states XIVth Book, but the British Library catalogues this as the 15th book (presumably based on the contents, compared with other copies)
Also apparently published by Walsh in 1732 under a different title-page: "A Second Collection of Thirty New and Choice Country Dances. Set for the harpsicord or spinnet. The dances perform'd at court and publick entertainments. Being a delightful and entertaining collection. Consisting of Irish, Welch & Scotch tunes."
