Memoirs Illustrating the History of Jacobinism: the Anti-Monarchical Conspiracy - by Abbé Barruel

Barruel’s Memoirs is a polemical work arguing that the French Revolution was orchestrated by a secret anti-monarchical conspiracy involving Freemasons, Enlightenment philosophers, and Jacobins. Written in the wake of revolutionary upheaval, it reflects the author’s conservative Catholic perspective and provides a vivid portrayal of counter-revolutionary sentiment in 18th-century Europe.
