The antiquity of the Apron as such is a well established fact—it is more antient, than the Golden Fleece or the Roman Eagle, and there is much recorded evidence of its having been used from time immemorial, both for practical and symbolic purposes, even the garden of Eden was not complete without it — for in the V.S.L. we find what must surely be the earliest reference to the apron, therein, in Genesis Chapter 3 Verse 7 it is written thus:- "and the eyes of both of them were opened and they knew that they were naked and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves aprons"note that, Brethren, Aprons, and not as one famous edition of the volume states, ''Breeches ".
