       Some future reader, who may see the term, without knowing the
       history of it, may imagine that it had reference to some
       antiquated bridge of the immortal Poet, thrown across the silver
       Avon, to facilitate his escape after some marauding excursion in
       a neighbouring park; and in some Gentleman's Magazine of the next
       century, it is not impossible, but that future antiquaries may
       occupy page after page in discussing so interesting a matter. We
       think it right, therefore, to put it on record in the Oriental
       Herald that the 'Shakesperian Rope Bridges' are of much less
       classic origin; that Mr Colin Shakespear, who, besides his
       dignity as Postmaster, now signs himself 'Superintendent General
       of Shakesperian Rope Bridges', is a person of much less genius
       than the Bard of Avon. --The Oriental Herald, 1825
