[158]. The American James Finley built an iron-chain suspension bridge as early as 1801 and patented the system in 1808 after he had built several more. See Pope, T., Treatise on Bridge Architecture, New York, 1811, which was probably known to Telford.
[159]. These early French bridges—and several important early English ones too—are illustrated in later editions of Rondelet’s Traité (See Note [[40]], Chapter [2]), and in Bruyère, L., Études relatives à l’art des constructions, Paris, 1823. Delon’s name is also given as Dilon and Dillon.
