•Charles Grant Blairfindie Allen (February 24, 1848 – October 25, 1899) was a science writer, author and novelist, and a successful upholder of the theory of evolution. Post-Prandial Philosophy consists of several essays on philosophy, languages, aristocracy, education. Extract from essay Science in Education: “A community entirely composed of scientific men would fail to feed itself, clothe itself, house itself, and keep itself supplied with amusing light literature. In one word, education in science produces specialists; and specialists, though most useful and valuable persons in their proper place, are no more the staple of a civilized community than engine - drivers or ballet-dancers. “
