LANCERS QUADRILLES THIRD FIGURE. AKA - "London Lanciers Figure 3." AKA and see "Dorset (2) (La)," "If the Life of a Man," "If the Heart of a Man," "Jenny Lind's Quadrille," "London Lanciers Figure 3," "When the Heart of a Man," "Would You have a Young Virgin." English, Quadrille (6/8 time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). ABA. The third figure of the Lancers Quadrilles, constructed by London dancing master John Duval in 1817, is traditionally called "La Native" (as it appears, for example, in Robert Hughes' 1823 music manuscript). The tune long predates Duval, however, and was used for a song in John Gay'sThe Beggar's Opera (1729, "If the heart of a man"). The quadrille was very popular in the first half of the 19th century, and the Lancers set of quadrilles were one of the most popular compositions for it (outdone in popularity only by the First Sett of Quadrilles). However, by the second half of the 19th century they had gone out of fashion. The description of the dance in Warne's Ballroom Guide (1888, p. 43) records:
Many years ago this dance was a great favourite, but, owing to the freaks of fashion, it lapsed into obscurity and was seldom, if ever, danced. We believe praise is due to the Empress Eugenie, to whom we are indebted for many things beside crinoline, for the re-introduction of this best of quadrilles into the modern ballroom.
