1776 was a significant year, the date of the American Revolution,
of the publication of Adam Smith's 'Wealth of Nations' and - far
less well-known but equally momentous - the founding, by Adam
Weishaupt, of the Order of the Illuminati. Weishaupt was a
respected professor of Canon Law at Germany's Ingolstadt
University. He conceived the Illuminati as "a durable combination
of the most worthy persons, who should work together in removing
the obstacles to human happiness.... Would not such an association
be a blessing to the world?" But while the American Revolution
strove for the 'pursuit of happiness' via forthright, open
revolution, Weishaupt envisioned that the Illuminati would shape
the fate of nations, and eventually the world, from the shadows,
working behind the scenes to infiltrate and subvert a host of
organizations, effecting change and revolution by stealth. A secret
Order dedicated to covert conspiracy. John Robison, a distinguished
Professor of philosophy at Edinburgh University, took it upon
himself to discover all he could of the Illuminati Order's
structure and schemes. His book, when first published in 1798,
caused a sensation in Europe and America. It has remained one of
the most important source works for the study of this most
enigmatic (and some would claim diabolical) of secret societies.
