.BACON'S "SECRET SOCIETY": THE EPHRATA CONNECTION

SECTION II — SLIDES AND RESEARCH ON EPHRATA
by Linda S. Schrigner, et al

Peter Miller was the last influential Rosicrucian leader at Ephrata during that cycle of Rosicrucian activity. During this time he was also virtually Secretary of State. Benjamin Franklin sought out his services for the Continental Congress, in order to distribute the Declaration of Independence to the foreign powers, because Miller could translate the document into seven languages. He printed it on the Ephrata press, a project taking two years to complete, and gave it to Franklin to give to the world.

Independence into several languages.
