To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Here are four pence, J wliich my lord, the Duke of Berry, has ordered me to remit ' to you, to redeem the Sunshade of the Princess Caroline." Touching and eternal legend of virtue, not without a recompense ! Under Louis Philippe, the Umbrella or Riflard became J patriarchal znd consiituiional ; it represented manners austere I and citizenlike, and symbolised the domestic virtues of order I and economy. It might be set in the royal trophy in saltier (J with the sceptre, and it became a part in s...ome sort of the national militia, with the attributes of angling, culinary laurels, and other symbols of Philistine life. All the independents of Paris, Bohemians, literary men with flowing manes, and artists chanted in the Rapinkide^ all the ( 57 ) hirsute folk of the years 1830 to 1850 rose in insurrection against the " P^pin " of the burgess. This word Ptpin was then an epigram against Louis Philippe, whose pear-shaped head was caricatured, and who never left his home without his Umbrella. Anglomania had not yet penetrated, as in the present day, into French manners; and the dandyism of 1830, which pretended that the carrying of a walking-stick required a particular skill, repelled the Umbrella as contrary to veritable elegance.
