WALTON, Isaak [1593-1683].
The Lives Of Donne, Wotton, Hooker, Herbert And Sanderson.
London: William Pickering, 1827..
48mo. pp. xix, 442. engraved frontis. with 5 portrait by A.Fox after T.Stothard. partly unopened in original cloth. First Pickering Edition. Part of the Pickering's 'Diamond Classics' series. "It was a curious ambition that prompted the production of these diminutive volumes printed in type so small that the pages could only be read with great discomfort under a magnifying glass. But probably Pickering's business instinct was sound. The Diamond Classics were to become a typographical tour de force and a novelty, and an advertisement offering these Classics in 48mo. as 'the smallest ever printed, being less than the Sedan, Elzevir, or Louvre editions' was bound to attract attention to the young man's shop in Lincoln's Inn Fields and the bring with it an increase of business in all directions."
