[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.”]
