1. Grant Allen
   by Grant Allen (18481899) The following essay originally appeared in The Hand ofGod and Other Posthumous Essays written by Grant Allen and published in 1909  
   http://www.atheists.org/Atheism/roots/allen/objectoflife.html
   
   Extractions: To suppose otherwise is to fall implicitly into anthropomorphic and anthropocentric error. It is to figure to one's self the universe as an objective totality, worked upon from without by a vast and idealised quasi-human artificer and designer, who moulds and models every part and detail of his work with special reference to its preordained place in his projected scheme of a cosmical system. Those who think in this manner think anthropomorphically; they accept that conception of the outer world which Herbert Spencer But, viewed abstractly, [the human race] cannot have any special purpose to subserve in the scheme of the universe, any more than the fungus of the vine-disease, or the maidenhair fern, or the little green aphides that feed upon our rose-bushes; ... Life as a whole, therefore, has no object, any more than the revolution of the planets has an object, or the double refraction of Iceland spar, or the particular flow of the black currents that swirl and eddy below the spray of Niagara. All these things are the necessary outcome of pre-existent conditions; their laws of sequence and causation can be investigated and proved; but the idea of an object as applied to them is philosophically inadmissible; for an object implies a person who designs, a person who overcomes particular difficulties in the raw material on which he works, by some particular and cunning arrangement of its parts and organs. But the power which underlies the universe works on very different lines indeed from these. We only degrade it to our own puny level of handicraft by conceiving of it (

   http://gaslight.mtroyal.ca/jerrysto.htm
   
   Extractions: From the Strand magazine , (1891-mar) J ERRY S TOKES was a member of Her Majesty's civil service. To put it more plainly, he was the provincial hangman. Not a man in all Canada, he used to boast with pardonable professional pride, had turned off as many famous murderers as he had. He was a pillar of the constitution, was Jerry Stokes. He represented the Executive. And he wasn't ashamed of his office, either. Quite on the contrary, zeal for his vocation shone visible in his face. He called it a useful, a respectable, and a necessary calling. If it were not for him and his utensils, he loved to say to the gaping crowd that stood him treat in the saloons, no man's life would be safe for a day in the province. He was a practical philanthropist in his way, a public benefactor. It is not good that foul crime should stalk unpunished through the land; and he, Jerry Stokes, was there to prevent it. He was the chosen instrument for its salutary repression: Executions performed with punctuality and despatch; for terms, apply to Jeremiah Stokes, Port Hope, Ontario.

11. Grant Allen
    by Madalyn Murray O'Hair February, 1991 Charles Grant Blairfindie Allen (Grant Allen)(18481899), the son of an Irish Protestant minister and notable scholar  
    http://www.atheists.org/Atheism/roots/allen/
    
    Extractions: February, 1991 Charles Grant Blairfindie Allen (Grant Allen) (1848-1899), the son of an Irish Protestant minister and notable scholar, was born at Alwington, near Kingston, Ontario, Canada, on 24 February 1848. He was partly educated in America and France. In England he was at King Edward's School in Birmingham, and later at Merton College in Oxford, graduating with honors in 1871. He also studied in Europe. Two years later, in 1873, he was appointed Professor of Logic at Queens College, Spanish Town, Jamaica. He also taught philosophy, ethics, Latin, and Greek at this college for Negroes. When its principal died, Allen took over and from 1874 to 1876 was the college's principal. At one point, while on the island, he took a brief holiday to the Blue Mountains. Since there were no hotel accommodations there, he put up at a store kept by a mulatto woman. In the small back room he occupied, there were a few books which he picked up and read. One was Darwin's Origin of Species and the other was Edward Clodd's The Childhood of the World . The latter had in it the name and the address of the author. From that beginning Grant Allen developed agnostic and radical views on life, eventually becoming an ardent socialist. He went to England in 1876 and immediately looked up Mr. Clodd, with whom he remained friends for the rest of his life.
