Historically, this refers specifically to the Bavarian Illuminati, an Enlightenment-era secret society founded on May 1, 1776, in Ingolstadt (Upper Bavaria), by Jesuit-taught Adam Weishaupt.
In 1777 Karl Theodor became ruler of Bavaria. He was a proponent of Enlightened Despotism and, in 1784, his government banned all secret societies, including the Illuminati. By this time however, the order had its branches in most countries on the European continent. It reportedly had around 2,000 members over the span of 10 years.
John Robison (1739 – 1805) was a Scottish physicist and inventor. He published 'Proofs of a Conspiracy' in 1797, alleging clandestine intrigue by the Illuminati and Freemasons (the work's full title was 'Proofs of a Conspiracy against all the Religions and Governments of Europe, carried on in the secret meetings of Freemasons, Illuminati and Reading Societies').

Robison and French priest Abbé Barruel independently developed similar views that the Illuminati had infiltrated Continental Freemasonry, leading to the excesses of the French Revolution.
In 1798, the Reverend G. W. Snyder sent Robison's book to George Washington for his thoughts on the subject in which he replied to him in his Letter to the Reverend G. W. Snyder (24 October 1798)....
"It is not my intention to doubt that the doctrine of the Illuminati and the principles of Jacobinism had not spread in the United States. On the contrary, no one is more satisfied of this fact than I am."
- George Washington
