Books
Kelsey's will has no mention of books; after monetary bequests to his family, all the residue of his goods and estate was left to his wife Mary. His library was auctioned in Oxford, 17.3.1712; no catalogue survives, but the sale was advertised in the Daily Courant, where it was mentioned that it included a number of mathematical books.
