[London] House of Commons, December 13. . . Upon the report
that a dancing master was returned to Parliament, And why
not ? says a gentleman present; that House should be filled
with persons of all ranks and professions; the merchant, the
soldier, the lawyer, the philosopher, and the country
gentleman, to regulate trade, war, to frame laws, to make
almanacs, to settle provisions; but, as these subjects are
often debated with confusion and disorder, it is well to
chuse a dancing master to regulate their motions; and I wish
some borough would return a hair-dresser to take care of
their heads.
