Proofs Of The Real Existence, And Dangerous Tendency, Of Illuminism

by Seth Payson

Proofs of the Real Existence, and Dangerous Tendency, of Illuminism is a book written by Seth Payson in 1802. It aims to expose the existence of Illuminism, a secret society that aimed to overthrow traditional religion and government in Europe during the late 18th century. Payson argues that the Illuminati, as they were also known, were a threat to social order and morality, and that their ideas posed a danger to the stability of society. The book presents evidence of the Illuminati's existence, including their alleged involvement in the French Revolution, and argues that their goals were antithetical to the principles of Christianity and democracy. Payson also provides recommendations for how to combat the spread of Illuminism, including educating the public about its dangers and promoting traditional values. Overall, Proofs of the Real Existence, and Dangerous Tendency, of Illuminism is a historical document that sheds light on a little-known aspect of European history and offers insights into the fears and concerns of the time.Containing An Abstract Of The Most Interesting Parts Of What Dr. Robison And The Abbe Barruel Have Published On This Subject, With Collateral Proofs And General Observations.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
