MY COMMENT:
This book, published 1802 in "Old English," is a difficult read.
The content is so interesting that I have re-written it in modern english.
Still difficult to follow... I broke the paragraphs into smaller subject lines.
I've stayed true to the content, but for the more clear spellings.
The original publication can be referred to for any verifications.
This translation is copyrighted.
As you can read in the book's "Preface"...
the author believes that the object of Illuminism
is to abolish Christianity and government.
"...a systematical attempt is now in operation to undermine the foundation
of every religious, moral, and social establishment."
