William Mackenzie (of Ludgate Hill, Edinburgh and Dublin) was a well-known Scottish publisher in the mid to late 1800s. He published works by the trio of Francis Orpen Morris, Benjamin Fawcett and Alexander Francis Lydon. Some of his prints were commissioned by the Royal Agricultural Society of England. He was most active in publishing from 1866 to 1895. In 1859, he was awarded a patent for the invention of "An Improved Method Of Printing Impressions Upon An Enlarged Or Reduced Scale, Either From Engraved Plates, Electrotypes, Blocks, Drawings, Or Other Surfaces". According to The British & Colonial Printer and Stationer, Mackenzie "had an enormous business, their Family Bibles, Home Preachers and other books of a devotional nature being known all the world over. In Scotland, at least, no home was considered completely furnished unless one of Mackenzie's Family Bibles lay upon the parlour table".
