London: T. Cadell jun. and W. Davies… W. Creech, Edinburgh, 1797. [4] 531 pages. Contemporary speckled calf, recently re-backed; red label to spine. Octavo. A handsome and clean copy. A member of the Edinburgh Philosophical Society when it received its royal warrant, John Robison was appointed as the first general secretary to the Royal Society of Edinburgh (1783–98). He invented the siren and also worked with James Watt on an early steam car. Following the French Revolution, Robison became disenchanted with elements of the Enlightenment. His Proofs of a Conspiracy is a polemic accusing Freemasonry of being infiltrated by Adam Weishaupt's secret society, the Order of the Illuminati.
