William Nicholson website
Especially for those interested in the 18th and the 19th centuries,

All
of the 3,000 articles have also been indexed, so you can search by
author, subject, keyword, and time period from the “Index” tab. You can
also find a complete list of authors on the same website, and
bibliographies of works by and about Nicholson.
All
of this is the work of Sue Bramall, amateur historian and a descendant
of William Nicholson. Sue is also in the process of completing a
biography of Nicholson, which will fill an important gap in the
literature. Information about the forthcoming book can also be found on
the website.
