[3] Mrs. Radcliffe was married to a gentleman whose
name was Randolph, after which, from what circumstance
is not known by the writer, she became deranged
in intellect. In her ravings she is said to have
imagined that the wild scenes of terror she so ably depicted,
in her Romances, were real. Whether she has
recovered a composed state of mind, the author of this
work has not been informed.
