The Maid Of The Mill
In 1765 Isaac Bickerstaffe (1735–1812), an Irish writer of plays, comic operas and burlesques interspersed with songs, produced in London his *The Maid of the Mill*, based on *Pamela*, the novel by Samuel Richardson. It is possible that this very popular play may have been the inspiratioon for the dance and the tune of the same name.
Table rows with a green background denote recordings starting with one of the recommended tunes and the usual number of repetitions for the dance (8). A yellow background means a recording with one of the recommended tunes but a non-standard number of repetitions. Recordings with a red background use a different tune and possibly a non-standard number of repetitions.
