Excerpt from L'Ombrelle, le Gant, le Manchon Il serait ???videmment pu???ril de vouloir assi gner une date ??? l'invention des Parasols; mieux vaudrait remonter ??? la Gen???se. Une expression biblique l'abri qui d???fend du soleil, suffirait presque ??? d???montrer l'origine orientale du Parasol, s'il n'apparaiss'ait partout d???s la plus haute antiquit???, aussi bien dans les sculptures ninivites retrouv???es et d???crites par M.

Seigneur, aurait dit ??? son mari cette ???pouse incomparable, vous con struisez fort habilement des maisons pour les hommes, mais il est impossible de les faire mouvoir, tandis que l'objet que je fabrique pour leur usage particulier se peut porterbien loin, bien loin au del??? de mille lieues. Et Lou - pan, stup???fait du g???nie de sa femme, aurait alors vu se d???ployer le premier Parasol. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
