Thou hast most traitorously corrupted the youth of the realm in erecting
a grammar-school; and whereas, before, our forefathers had no other
books but the score and the tally, thou hast caused printing to be
used, and, contrary to the king, his crown and dignity, thou hast
built a paper-mill.
-- William Shakespeare (1564-1616), King Henry VI
-- Act iv, Sc. 7
