Biography
John Nichols (1745-1826), printer and writer, was born on 2 February 1745 in Islington, Middlesex. He was educated at John Shield's Academy for Young Gentlemen in Islington (c.1749-57). Nichols joined the Bowyer printing office, founded in 1699, and was bound apprentice at Stationers' Hall, on 6 February 1759. His first important editorial work was a supplementary volume to the works of Jonathan Swift in 1775 which formed volume 17 of the trade edition of Swift's works and contained an index to the whole. Nichols's reputation as an antiquary and county historian rests principally on The History and Antiquities of the County of Leicester. He died on 26 November 1826 at his home in Highbury Place, Islington.
