William Pickering (1796-1854) was a London bookseller and publisher. His Diamond Classics series, which includes the book shown here, featured works by such authors as Shakespeare, Virgil, and Dante printed in 4½ point type. Pinkering advertised this series as "the smallest edition of the Classics ever published."
