Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Secret Societies of the European Revolution, 1776 1876, Vol. 2 of 2 The dispersion of the Carbonaro leaders had, at the same time, the effect -of extending the system in France, where it had been introduced towards the end of 1820, and creating, centres wofrrevolution-aiy agita tion in the foreign c_1ti_es in whichthey tempoiarily located themselves. General Pepe proceeded to Bar celona when the counter-revolution was imminent at Naples, and his life was no longer safe there; and to the same city went several of the Piedmontese revo lutionists when their country was Austrianized after the same lawless fashion. Scalvini and Ugoni took refuge at Geneva; others of the proscribed proceeded to Lbondon. This dispersion, and the progress which Carbonarism was making in France, suggested to General Pepe the idea of an international secret so ciety, which should combine for a common purpose the advanced political reformers of all the European States.
