Excerpt from The Builder and Workman's New Director: Comprehending Definitions and Descriptions of the Component Parts of Buildings
Emerson's Treatise on Fluxions has been generally allowed to be the most difficult on this branch of analytical science; it was not long, however, before Mr. Nicholson obtained a complete knowledge of the first principles; and the pleasure which resulted from their application to so many sublime problems, so encouraged him, as to make him surmount every other difficulty, in whatever part of the work his inclination led him to study.
Mr. Nicholson came to London about the age of twenty, and for some time pursued his favorite studies of the mathematical sciences at his leisure hours in the evenings; at length, however, he dropped the pursuit of analytical subjects, and continued to study Geometry only, as being more congenial to his views in life.
