NICOLSON, WILLIAM (1655-1727)

This article appears in Volume V19, Page 664 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: NEW-NUM
NICOLSON, WILLIAM (1655-1727) , English divine and antiquary, was educated at Queen's College,
Oxford
  (M.A., 1679; fellow, 1679-16S2). After visiting
Leipzig
  to learn German he was made prebendary of
Carlisle
  in 1681, archdeacon in 1682. Twenty years later he was appointed
bishop
  of the same diocese, where he remained until his
translation
  to Derry in 1718. In 1727 he was nominated archbishop of
Cashel
  and Emly, but died before he could assume charge. Nicolson is remembered by the impulsiveness of his temperament, which led him into a good deal of strife as a
bishop
 , and more happily by his zeal in collecting and guarding manuscripts and other official documents. For this purpose he had
special
  rooms built at Derry. His
chief
  works were the Historical Library (English, 1696-97-99; Scottish, 1702; Irish, 1724; complete later editions, 1732 and 1776), and Leges Marchiarum or Border
Laws
  (1705, new ed., 1747).
