Nicolson wrote many books.

and was forced to return home without finishing his calculations.

In 1849, Waugh dispatched James Nicolson to the area, who made two observations from Jirol,
190 km(120 mi) away.

Marc Nicolson, Thingking's co-founder,
said it was valuable and interesting to talk to other network members, but they struggled to spark effective long-distance collaborations.
Nicolson took the largest theodolite and headed east, obtaining over
30 observations from five different locations, with the closest being 174 km from the peak.
Waugh began work on Nicolson's data in 1854, and along with his
staff spent almost two years working on the calculations, having to deal with the problems of light refraction, barometric pressure, and temperature over the vast distances of the observations.
