Scottish Enlightenment and Illuminati conspiracy

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

The foundational text of modern conspiracy theory, written by the eminent Scottish physicist John Robison in the aftermath of the French Revolution. Robison argues that the Revolution was not a spontaneous uprising, but the work of a secret conspiracy orchestrated by the Bavarian Illuminati and radical elements within Freemasonry. He provides a detailed (and often biased) account of Adam Weishaupt's order and its alleged infiltration of European intellectual societies. It is a primary source for the study of the anti-Masonic movement.
