United Kingdom. Things as They Are; or The Adventures of Caleb Williams (1794; retitled The Adventures of Caleb Williams; or Things as They Are in 1831, [1] and often abbreviated to Caleb Williams) by William Godwin is a three-volume novel written as a call to end the abuse of power by what Godwin saw as a tyrannical government.
William Godwin’s Things as They Are, or: The Adventures of Caleb Williams actually reminded me of Charles Brockden Brown, and that is a very ambivalent, although all in all little flattering thing to say. However, I think my comparison is justified in that there are at least three similarities between Brown’s novels and Caleb Williams.

This novel was first published in May, 1794, thirty−seven years ago, "in the same month in which the sanguinary plot broke out against the liberties of Englishmen, which was happily terminated by the acquittal of its first intended victims [Thomas Hardy, John Horne Tooke, Thomas Holcroft, in the close of that year." (See above, 1795 Preface).
