[78: Preface to _Fleetwood_, 1832, p. xi: "I read over a little
old
book entitled _The Adventures of Mme. De St. Phale_, I
turned
over the pages of a tremendous compilation entitled _God's
Revenge against Murder_, where the beam of the eye of
omniscience was represented as perpetually pursuing the
guilty... I was extremely conversant with _The Newgate
Calendar_ and _The Lives of the Pirates_. I rather amused
myself
with tracing a certain similitude between the story of
_Caleb
Williams_ and the tale of _Bluebeard_;" and Preface to
_Cloudesley_: "The present publication may in the same
sense be
denominated a paraphrase of the old ballad of the Children
in
the Wood."]
