Several years ago, we took a field trip to the Rindge Historical Society. The museum's collection includes a military discharge signed by General George Washington, a musket from a veteran of the French and Indian War, and the carriage owned by Dr. William Dean of nearly Jaffrey, NH, whose murder in 1918 remains an unresolved mystery. Before leaving this historic gem, we visited the museum's bookstore and found reprinted copies of Proof of the Illuminati by Rev. Seth Payson. I asked the museum's director why this book would be offered by the museum. She told me that the author was pastor of the Rindge Congregational Church from 1782 until his death in 1820. I bought a copy and read this fascinating account of the Illuminati. Camp Constitution Press is pleased to reprint this timeless but little known classic. A special thanks to Mr. Ed Clements of Burnt Hills, NY, who edited the PDF version of the book, and reformatted it to make it more readable. 3 Foreword This work, Proof of the Illuminat, was frst published in 1802 under the longer ttle Proofs of the Real Existence, and Dangerous Tendency, of Illuminism. It was printed in Charlestown, Massachusets by Samuel Etheridge for the author, Seth Payson. Reverend Seth Payson, D. D. was born in 1758 and died in 1820. He, like his father, Rev. Phillips Payson, and several of his brothers, became a Congregatonal preacher. Afer graduatng from Harvard, he was appointed as the minister of the Congregatonal church in Rindge, New Hampshire in 1782, and held this post for the rest of his life. At least one of his sons also followed him into the ministry. Payson was very actve in establishing new churches for communites in northern New England, including the church in Coventry, Vermont. He was the author of numerous sermons, several of which were published and had a modest distributon. Additonally, Payson helped educate and provide for Sophia Sawyer, a woman who would later become famous for establishing the Fayeteville Female Academy. Rev. Payson served in the New Hampshire State senate from 1802-1805. He was a staunch Federalist supporter. Along with its alarming message regarding both religion and state, Proof of the Illuminat was also a part of Payson’s campaign platorm. More on the family: Seth Payson's son Edward Payson (25 July 1783 – 22 October 1827) was an American Congregatonal preacher. He was born on 25 July 1783 at Rindge, New Hampshire, where his father, Seth Payson (1758-1820), was pastor of the Congregatonal Church. Seth Payson's brother, Phillips Payson (1736-1801), pastor of a church in Chelsea, Massachusets, was a physicist and astronomer. Edward Payson graduated at Harvard in 1803, was then principal of a school at Portland, Maine, and in 1807 became junior pastor of the Congregatonal Church at Portland, where he remained, afer 1811, as senior pastor, untl his death on 22 October 1827. Archibald Alexander suggested in 1844 that that "no man in our country has lef behind him a higher character for eminent piety than the Rev. Edward Payson." 4 Preface The eforts which have been made to discredit circumstances, should be collected into one the existence of Illuminism, and the torrents of point, freed from the obscurity in which it has abuse which have been so liberally poured on been industriously involved, and the whole such as have atempted, apparently from the comprised in a volume, easy to the purchaser, purest motves, to unveil this mystery of and intelligible to every reader. iniquity, have in part produced the end designed.

    AMERICAN NAVAL POLICY IN AN AGE OF ATLANTIC WARFARE: A CONSENSUS BROKEN AND REFORGED, 1783-1816 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Jeffrey J. Seiken, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2007 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor John Guilmartin, Jr., Advisor Professor Margaret Newell _______________________ Professor Mark Grimsley Advisor History Graduate Program ABSTRACT In the 1780s, there was broad agreement among American revolutionaries like Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and Alexander Hamilton about the need for a strong national navy. This consensus, however, collapsed as a result of the partisan strife of the 1790s. The Federalist Party embraced the strategic rationale laid out by naval boosters in the previous decade, namely that only a powerful, seagoing battle fleet offered a viable means of defending the nation's vulnerable ports and harbors. Federalists also believed a navy was necessary to protect America's burgeoning trade with overseas markets. Republicans did not dispute the desirability of the Federalist goals, but they disagreed sharply with their political opponents about the wisdom of depending on a navy to achieve these ends. In place of a navy, the Republicans with Jefferson and Madison at the lead championed an altogether different prescription for national security and commercial growth: economic coercion. The Federalists won most of the legislative confrontations of the 1790s. But their very success contributed to the party's decisive defeat in the election of 1800 and the abandonment of their plans to create a strong blue water navy.

BORSUK-WOOMAN Spring 2010 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for baccalaureate degrees in History and Economics with honors in History Reviewed and approved* by the following: Sylvia Neely Associate Professor of History Thesis Supervisor Catherine Wanner Associate Professor of History and Religious Studies Honors Adviser * Signatures are on file in the Schreyer Honors College. ABSTRACT The Purpose and Fall of the Napoleonic Empire in the Low Countries and Italy investigates Napoleon’s aims for the Empire and the reasons for its final demise in the Low Countries and Italy. This work will examine these two aspects in Belgium, the Netherlands, Northern Italy, and Naples. First, I scrutinize Stuart’s Woolf’s thesis that Napoleon attempted to integrate Europe in order to create a single-European state that benefitted the entire continent. I attack his thesis by referring to Paul Schroeder’s argument that Napoleon viewed Europe as colonies that were meant to benefit France. Many of those European colonies benefitted from Napoleon’s colonization, Belgium, Piedmont, and the Kingdom of Italy, while others suffered under his demands, especially the Netherlands and Naples. The underlying theme was the institutions Napoleon implanted into these areas in order to extract their resources. The second argument assaults the view that nationalism was the cause of the fall of the Empire. Through analyzing the Low Countries and Italy, I demonstrate that entrenched political factions existed, separated on financial and economic issues, conscription, and religion.

The Mexican War offered itself up as the first of such interactions between the neighboring republics. The Mexican during the War was met largely with criticism from the American public, a criticism aided by the work of the press. While a vast majority of the presses disparaged the Mexican populace on a variety of subjects, not all papers denigrated the Mexicans as some inferior population in need of assistance from the United States in order to survive and reach a proper level of civilization. Papers such as the Catholic and abolitionist presses sought to portray the Mexican in a more positive light. Analysis of these spheres of influence of the various presses offers up a genesis of the Mexican within the American imagination.

EVOLUTION OF A WORD: DEMOCRACY AND THE DEMOCRATIC-REPUBLICAN SOCIETIES, 1793-1796 by JARRETT MACKENZIE WALKER Under the Direction of David Sehat ABSTRACT Even though most historians agree on democracy’s basic definition and that it emerged with the American Revolution in the United States, historians disagree on how it developed after the Revolution. Some argue that democracy thrived while others claim that it was tamed during the 1790s. Instead of siding with one side or the other, this thesis argues that democracy meant different things to different people and developed in multiple ways. People created their own definition and over time they helped evolve it and one group was the Democratic-Republican Societies that formed in 1793 and ended in 1796. Their definition started out by describing an egalitarian society, but over time it evolved in reaction to three different events: French Revolution, the Whiskey Rebellion, and the Jay Treaty.
