Excerpt from The Secret Societies of the European Revolution, Vol. 1 of 2 Templars and the Rosicrucians and the alleged affiliation of the T emplars to the Assassins completes the genealogical tree by indicating the quarter in which we are to seek its roots. Leaving for future consideration the question of the relationship of the Illuminati to the Freemasons, I propose in this place to state the evidence that exists of the alleged descent of the former from the Templars, and of the connexion of the last-named Order with the Assassins; and it will be necessary to preface this statement with a brief account of the origin and development of the mysterious association which arose at Cairo in the eleventh cen tury, and at one time threatened to dominate the Moslem world.

Excerpt from The Secret Societies of the European Revolution, Vol. 1 of 2 The political history of Europe during the last hundred years has been made, to so considerable an extent, by the various secret associations by which revolutions and insurrections have been prepared, that our knowledge of it is incomplete and unsatisfactory without some acquaintance with the agencies which, during that period, have been incessantly at work beneath the surface. The great European convulsion of the last century was foreshadowed by the Illuminati; the seeds of the movement which, skilfully directed by the most able statesman of the age, has resulted in the establishment of the new German Empire, were sown by the Tugendbund; the independence of Greece is due to the Hetairia; and the extent to which the young Italian State owes its existence to the Carbonari and Young Italy is simply incalculable.

This book is an invitation to the secret world behind the veil of daily events. In its pages you will meet the legendary Cagliostro and the Comte de Saint-Germain as they travel through the royal courts and Masonic lodges of eighteenth-century Europe, fomenting Revolution and working to overturn the social order of their day. Alchemists, magicians, Illuminati adepts, mystics, and Freemasons joined forces with politicians, journalists, scientists, writers, philosophers and libertines in a movement that forever altered the cultural landscape of Western civilization. Inaugurating two centuries of revolution and upheaval, the French Revolution of 1789 put an end to the concept of the divine right of kings, led to the formal separation of church and state, destroyed the remnants of medieval feudalism, and heralded the values of the Enlightenment as the triumphant banner under which the modern world would be born. Yet it was accompanied by a level of violence whose ferocity spoke more of an exorcism than a political restructuring. What lessons does the Revolution hold for us today? Do the forces of secret societies and silent conspiracies continue to influence the world? Historian Una Birch's classic account was originally published in 1911. Her proximity to and sympathy with the events offer a unique perspective. Secret society expert James Wasserman has made this work accessible to the modern reader with extensive annotations, a history of the Revolution, an introduction that places the Illuminati in context, and biographical sketches of the main participants.
