Résumé
It is contended here that paradoxically British freemasons concurred with notorious anti-masons such as Abbé Augustin Barruel, the Jesuit who wrote Mémoires pour servir à l'histoire du jacobisnime (1790), and John Robison, the Scottish author of Proofs of a Conspiracy (1797) in condemning the French revolution. As British Grand Lodges identified themselves more and more with the Establishment, they supported Edmund Burke's views and like Barruel and Robison blamed French Jacobins for their lack of respect for property, monarchy and religion. Burke befriended Barruel and even more significantly, while laun¬ ching such an attack upon freemasonry, both Barruel and Robison made an exception for English lodges. Edmund Burke was never proved to be a mason, although it has been suggested that he was. However British freemasons fully endorsed his views on the French revolution. (traduction par l'auteur)
