Indicative of the work's modern practical value is the claim of the original publisher, Michel Toulouze of Paris, that at his shop on Mont Sainte-Genevieve there may be found a singing master (presumably himself) with his music-books, prepared to instruct any likely lad in all points of his art \"with a jovial countenance\".\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Art and Instruction\u003c\/em\u003e will always remain an interesting and early representative of its species even if some future lucky find should oust it from the pride of first place in that history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 66\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.31 x 8 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 01, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48395872272633,"sku":"9781914311376","price":30.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/avkW3hiDD89781914311376.webp?v=1778619305","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/lart-et-instruction-de-bien-dancer-hardcover","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
