Charles Ollier (1788–1859) was an English publisher and author, associated with the works of Percy Bysshe Shelley and John Keats.
[1] Ollier made the acquaintance of Leigh Hunt, and undertook the publication of some of his works: Foliage, Hero and Leander, and the second edition of The Story of Rimini.
[1] The most important of Ollier's other publications were the collected works of Charles Lamb and several of Barry Cornwall's early volumes.
When Ollier's business was wound up shortly afterwards, the Defence came into the possession of John Hunt; he prepared it for publication in The Liberal, but that periodical also expired before it could be published.
[1] In a letter to Hunt, Ollier wrote that his son William (reportedly a journalist with a fascination for etymology) coined ghoti, a comical respelling of the word fish.
