THE SECRET SOCIETIES OF ALL

 " Dalla straordinarietlt degli effetti certo pull indursi la straordinarietlt, la
grandezza, l' insistenza delie cagioni; ma l' intreccio e l' altemo prevalere .
di queste, l' attrazione chI' esercitano, sfuggono all' analisi. n mistero
precinge la notturna fecondazione. Dai pin disparati sentimenti trae
vigore la setta. Le materie pin preziose ed insieme Ie meno elette con-
corrono a formare questo gigante, rifusione cicio pica e tetra di quanta

From the extraordinary nature of the effects we may infer the extra-
ordinary nature, grandeur, and permanency of the causes; but their con-
nection, varying predominance, and mutual attraction, escape all analysis.
Mystery surroundB the obscure fecundation. Sects draw vigour from the
most opposite sentiments. The most exalted as well as the meanest
elements concur in f6rming'this giant, a cyclopean and black fusion of all
that seethes, boils, and ferments in the social viscera.

 PREFACE TO THE NEW EDITION

'flUS is not so much a second edition of my book on Secret

Societies published in 1875 as an almost entirely new work.
When the first edition was published, some of the societies
had scarcely any history., Of the Nihilists, for instance, the
account now given, recording their doings within the last
eighteen years, fills many pages of this work. The story of
other societies, active even then, such as the Fenians, had to
be brought down to date, and yielded much new matter.
I have thought it desirable to give fuller particulars of
certain societies than I had given in the first edition, such as
the Jesuits, for instance-the new matter having either
been kept back, or being the result of further research.
Accounts of societies not included in the first edition will
be found here. I may instance "Crata Repoa,"" Rosheniah,"
and "Skopzi."
A few of the articles of the first edition have been reduced;
such, for instance, as that on the Paris Commune, which has
not now' that immediate interest its then recent activity
imparted to it.
Great changes have also been made in the arrangement of
the mattet.
Secret Societies may be arranged either chronologically, or
locally, or topically. Each arrangement has its advantages
and disadvantages; the former are obvious, the latter may
be stated thus : -
By arranging societies according to chronology, those
which are topically connected or identical will sometimes
be placed at so great a distance as to impair the continuity
of interest. By arranging them locally, the chronological
connection must suffer; and by arranging them according
to subjects or topics, the reader obtains no clear view of
the sequence of events. I have therefore endeavoured
to combine the three modes of representing the great
drama of Secret Societies by making the topical arrange-
ment its basis, aud on that marshalling the societies first
according to locality, and lastly according to time. Thus
• xiii
xiv PREFACE TO THE NEW EDITION

in the first Book of the work the topic is Ancient Mysteries

and Religious Societies; they are arranged according to
localities, and the third consideration is the time. Therefore
the Eastern Societies come first, in chronological order; then
the Western, in the same order; so that the Magi of Persia
form the first, and the Scandinavian Drottes of Europe the
last in the list. . »"
A full list of authorities consulted being given, it has not
been considered necessary to encumber the pages with foot-
notes i the general reader does not want them, and the student
will know what work to refer to for verification.
The work, as now presented to the public, is the result of
twenty-five years' study and research, involving the acquisi-
tion and collation of the English and foreign literature on
the subject, and therefore claims to be a cyclopredia of
Secret Societies, giving concise, but quintessential, details
of all worth recording, and omitting only those whose duration
was ephemeral, and action trivial.

 PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION

FOR many years the fascinating subject of Secret Societies

had engaged my attention, and ,it had long been my inten-
tion to collect in a comprehensive work all the information
that could be gathered from numerous, often remote, and
sometimes almost inaccessible, sources concerning one of the
most curious phases of the history of mankind-those secret
organisations, religious, political, and social, which have ex-
isted from the most remote ages down to the present time.
Before, however, I had arranged and digested my materials,
a review in the Athe1U1Jum (No. 2196) directed my attention
to the Italian work, "II Mondo Secreto," by Signor De
Castro, whom I have since then had the pleasure of meeting
at Milan. I procured the book, and intended at first to give
a translation of it; but though I began as a translator, my
labours speedily assumed a more independent form. Much,
I found, had to be omitted from an original coloured by a
certain political bias, and somewhat too indulgent to various
Italian political sects, who, in many instances, were scarcely
more than hordes of brigands. Much, on the other hand,
had to be added "from sources, chiefly English and German,
nnknown to the Italian author; much had to be placed on
a different basis and in another light; and again, many
societies not mentioned by Signor De Castro had to be intro-
duced to the reader, such as the Garduna, the Chauffeurs,
Fenians, International, O-Kee-Pa, Ku-Klux, Inquisition,
Wahabees; so that, with these additions, and the amplifica-
tions of sections in the original Italian, forming frequently
entirely new articles, the work, as it now is presented to the
English public, though in its framework retaining much of
its foreign prototype, may yet claim the merit of being not
only essentially original, but the most comprehensive account
of Secret Societies extant in English, French, German, or
Italian, the leading languages of Europe; for whatever has
been written on the subject in anyone of them has beEln
consulted and put under ·contribution. In English there is
no worlf that can at all compete with it, for the small book
xv
 \

xvi PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION

published in 1836 by Charles Knight, and entitled," Secret
Societies of the Middle Ages," embraces four societies only.
. .
The student who wishes for more ample information will
have to consult the lists of authorities given at· the head of
each Book, as it was thought best not to encumber the text
with foot-notes, which would have swelled the wQrk to at
least twice its present extent. The reader may rest satisfied
that few statements are made which could not be supported
by numerous and weighty authorities; though dealing as we
do here with societies whose very existence depended on
secrecy, and which, therefore, as a matter of policy, left
behind them as little documentary evidence as possible, the
old distich applies with peculiar force : -
" What is hits is history,
And what is mist is mystery."
Again, bearing in mind that the imperative compass of
the work exacted a concise setting forth of facts-ranging
as the subject does over a surface so vast--I have been care-
ful to interr'uptthe narrative only by such comments and
reflections as would seem almost indispensable for clearing
up obscurities or supplying missing historical links.
It may at first appear as if some societies had improperly
been inserted in this work as "secret" societies j the Free-
masons, for instance. Members of secret associations, it
might be objected, are not in the habit of proclaiming their
membership to the world, but no Freemason is ashamed or
afraid of avowing himself such; nay, he is rather proud of
the fact, and given to proclaim it somewhat obtrusively; yet
the most rabid Celt, who wishes to have a hand in the re-
generation of his native land by joining the Fenian brother-
hood, has sense enough to keep his affiliation a profound
secret from the uninitiated. But the rule I have fQllowed in
adopting societies as "secret" was to include in my collection
all such as had or have "secret rites and ceremonies" kept
from the outer world, though the existence of the society
itself be no secret at all. In fact, no association of men can
for any length of time remain a secret, since however anxious
the members may be to shrqud themselves in darkness, and
remain personally unknown, the purpose for which they band
together must always betray itself by some overt acts; and
wherever there is an act, the world surmises an agent; and if
none that is visible can be found, a secret one is suspected.
The Thugs, for instance, had every desire to remain un-
 PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION xvii
known; yet the fact of the existence of such a society was
suspected long before any of its members were discovered.
On the principle also of their being the propounders of
secret doctrines, or doctrines clothed in language under-
stood by the adepts alone, Alchymists and Mystics have
found places in this work; and the Inquisition, thongh. a
state tribunal, had its secret agents and secret procedure,
and may therefore justly be included in the category of
Secret Societies.
Secret Societies, religious and political, are again spring-
ing up on many sides: the religious may be dismissed
without comment, as they are generally without any novelty
or significance, but those that have political objects ought
not to be disregarded as without importance. The Inter-
national, Fenians, Communists, Nihilists, Wahabees, are
secretly aiming at the overthrow of existing governments
and the present order of things. The murders of English-
men perpetrated by native Indians point to the machinations
of secret societies in British India. Before the outbreak of
the great Indian mutiny English newspaper correspondents
spoke rather contemptuously of some religious ceremony
observed throughout British India of carrying small loaves
from village to village, but this ceremony was the summons
to the people to prepare for the general rising; hence the
proceedings of the natives should be Qlosely watched.
