About the author

John Warton (1770–1841) was a 19th-century religious writer associated with Anglican devotional and pastoral literature. The clearest source-backed detail about him is his authorship of Death-bed Scenes, and Pastoral Conversations, a multi-volume work published in the 1820s and 1830 that reflects on dying, conversion, and the care of the sick.

Library and catalog records identify him as "John Warton, 1770–1841," and later editions describe the book as being edited by his sons after his death. Some bookseller listings suggest the name may have been used pseudonymously, but the available evidence in this search was not strong enough to state that as fact here.

Reliable biographical detail beyond his dates and his published work was limited in the sources reviewed, so this overview stays close to what could be confirmed.
