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."]
