LANCERS QUADRILLES THIRD FIGURE. AKA - "London Lanciers Figure 3." English, Quadrille (6/8 time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). ABA. The third figure of the Lancers Quadrilles, constructed by John Duval in 1817, is traditionally called "La Native." 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 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.
