==== Death and legacy ==== Barrow died unmarried in London at the early age of 46, and was buried at [[Westminster Abbey]]. [[John Aubrey]], in the [[Brief Lives]], attributes his death to an opium addiction acquired during his residence in Turkey. Besides the works above mentioned, he wrote other important treatises on mathematics, but in literature his place is chiefly supported by his sermons,<ref>Isaac Barrow, John Tillotson, Abraham Hill β The works of the learned Isaac Barrow ... Printed by J. Heptinstall, for Brabazon Aylmer, 1700 [https://books.google.com/books?id=ZmVZAAAAYAAJ&dq=isaac+barrow+priest&pg=PA217 Published by DR JOHN TILLOTSON THE LORD ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY ] {&} Isaac Barrow β The theological works of Isaac Barrow, Volume 1 [https://books.google.com/books?id=_8ctAAAAYAAJ&dq=isaac+barrow+priest&pg=PA318 The University Press, 1830] {&} Isaac Barrow, Thomas Smart Hughes 1831 β ''The Works of Dr. Isaac Barrow: With Some Account of His Life, Summary of Each Discourse, Notes, &c (1831)''- ''Fourth Volume'' [https://archive.org/stream/worksdrisaacbar01hughgoog#page/n5/mode/2up A.J.

Barrow's character as a man was in all respects worthy of his great talents, though he had a strong vein of eccentricity.
