He was granted a pension of £200 per annum by William III in 1702.
Books
In his will, Harel directed that all his books, manuscripts, and the furniture of his study should be left to his son Charles, "that my said son shall always have and reserve the use and occupation of the said study to himself alone". Charles was also bequeathed his medicines in his study and laboratory. However, Harel’s library (“the learned Dr Harold”) was sold, along with that of “another gentleman”, by fixed price in London, 7 April 1714. The catalogue included 494 lots, divided between Latin and Greek books (13), Latin medicine (288), English medicine (46), and English miscellaneous (147).
