Excerpt from Things as They Are, or the Adventures of Caleb Williams, Vol. 1 of 3 The Author of Caleb Williams and St. Leon has been called upon once again to revise these productions in their passage through the press. They are such as his faculties enabled him to make them sixteen or twenty years ago, at a period when the human understanding is commonly supposed to be sufficiently mature.
