After an early career as a physician who got into trouble condemning England's policy of excluding dissenters from office or entrance into Cambridge or Oxford he wrote two anonymously published pamphlets on the injustice of the system but his authorship was soon discovered losing the support from the leaders in government but as he moved to the Broad Street Buildings he found this community close to Hackney was full of dissenters where he became their spokesmen. He was close friends with Erasmus Darwin James Montgomery Robert Southey and the philanthropist John Howard whose literary executor he became.

Pickering began working as an antiquarian bookseller before 1820 and quickly moved into publishing. In 1819 he began publishing a series of Diamond Classics- small books set in tiny type that were offered in a uniform binding of cloth or leather at an affordable price of 6 shillings. These are probably the first publishers' bindings in cloth- an innovation which had a rapid and profound impact on the publishing industry. He specialised in scholarly editions of classic authors.
