Alfred Richard Allinson (b. 1872,) a noted classical scholar and translator. Allinson did his undergraduate study at Lincoln College and served as Senior Assistant Classical Master of Somersetshire College, Bath in 1884, and in 1885 and 1886, assistant master at Kelly College (Tavistock). He worked with Charles Carrington (Paul Harry Ferdinando, 1867-1921), an English publisher and bookseller who ran a bookshop in Paris and, from 1907 to 1912, following his expulsion from France for publishing and selling literature of "a very obscene and vulgar nature," in Brussels. Allinson collaborated with Carrington on the editions The Sexual Instincts and their Morbid Manifestations, by Veniamin Mikhailovich Tarnovskii, (Paris, 1898), Passion and Criminality in France (Paris, 1901; London, 1905), Petronius' Satyricon (Paris, 1902), and other works. Carrington commissioned to him a new edition of Burton's translation of Apuleius's Golden Ass. The edition, however, was never published.
