Proofs of a Conspiracy against all the Religions and Governments of Europe, Carried on in the Secret Meetings of Free-Masons, Illuminati, and Reading Societies, Collected from Good Authorities

Set against the backdrop of revolutionary France in 1797, the book explores the chaos and destruction that followed the fall of the monarchy. It questions whether the upheaval was a spontaneous event or the result of a calculated conspiracy orchestrated by secret societies like the Freemasons and Illuminati. John Robison, alarmed by his observations of these groups, aims to expose their influence and methods, providing a critique of their ideologies. Initially sensational, this work has remained influential as a pioneering analysis of conspiracy in historical events.
