About the author

French publicist and Jesuit priest.

He entered the Jesuits in 1756, and taught grammar at Toulouse in 1762. The storm against the Jesuits in France drove him from his country and he was occupied in college work in Moravia and Bohemia until the suppression of the order in 1773.

During the French Revolution he had to flee to England where he wrote his most known book Memoirs Illustrating the History of Jacobinism.

Reviews

[Bob Bingham · Rating 4 out of 5]

Written over 200 years ago, this book includes the 4 volumes originally published detailing the schemes and goals of Voltaire and Adam Weishaupt, as well as their disciples. It gets tedious as times, but still is worthwhile in that some things never change. Instead of suppressing certain books and pamphlets, today's censors use the term "disinformation" to silence critics of the official narrative and go after social media companies to shut down dissent. The siren song of "Liberty, Equality, and Brotherhood" is still very much with us as well.

"Mary Francis Arouet was bom at Paris, February 20, 1694, the son of an ancient notary of the Chatelet. Through vanity he changed his name to that of Voltaire, which he deemed more noble, more sonorous, and better suited to the celebrity at which he aimed: and never had there appeared a man with such versatile talents, and such a thirst of dominion over the literary world."
Augustin Barruel
