"It also occurred to me that you might have had Ideas to that Purport when you disapproved of the Meetings of the Democratic-Societies, which appeared to me to be a Branch of that Order, though many Members may be entirely ignorant of the Plan. Those Men who are so much attached to French Principles, have all the Marks of Jacobinism. They first cast off all religious Restraints, and then became fit for perpetrating every Act of Inhumanity. And, it is remarkable, that most of them are actually Scoffers at all religious Principles."

Letter to George Washington from G. W. Snyder, 22 August 1798
George Washington Snyder sent to the President a copy of John Robison's 'Proofs of a Conspiracy Against All the Religions and Governments of Europe' (New York: George Forman, 1798; reprint edition, Boston: Western Islands, 1967). This volume revealed the Illuminist plan, through the agency of Freemasonry, for the overthrow of established governments and religions. Mr. Snyder apparently questioned the propriety of the President's membership and position as Grand Master of the Alexandria Lodge No. 22 of Virginia.
