Books
Warley's will does not mention his library, which was sold by retail sale in London from 5 February 1723, alongside that of an unnamed 'Eminent Physician'. The printed catalogue describes the sale as 'a Choice Collection of very Valuable Books in English, French, Greek, and Latin; with several of the Classicks, &c'. The total number of items is nearly 1000, and they are divided by format and language.
