  "An image of the Abbé Barruel and the front page of his bestselling 18th century, multivolume conspiracy theory (Memoires pour Servir a L’Histoire du Jacobinisme). Barruel is definitely not me, but I did quote his statements about secret societies (with appropriate textual indicators and footnotes) in my own book."

  "The cover of my book Keats, Hermeticism and the Secret Societies. The engraved image on the cover is not Barruel, but rather, an alchemical image of Hermes preparing to enter a cave illustrating the allegory of the mystical journey."
