   To set free from mistakes; to undeceive; to disengage from
   fallacy or deception; to set right.

         To undeceive and disabuse the people.    --South.

         If men are now sufficiently enlightened to disabuse
         themselves or artifice, hypocrisy, and superstition,
         they will consider this event as an era in their
         history.                                 --J. Adams.
