In 1798 the Reverend G W Snider sent Robison’s book to George Washington for his thoughts on the subject in which he replied to him in a letter quote: “I have heard much of the nefarious and dangerous plan and doctrines of the Illuminati but never saw the book until you were pleased to send it to me it was not my intention to doubt that the doctrines of the Illuminati and principles of Jacobism had not spread in the United States on the contrary no one is more truly satisfied of this fact than I am.” – George Washington
