Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
A scholarly edition of the letters of Dorothy Osborne to William

1914. Dorothy Osborne's sole literary remains consist of a slim
book of 77 letters written to her husband-to-be, Sir William
Temple, during their courtship, plus 9 letters written after their
marriage. The letters are brilliantly written and show a flair for
self-examination. They form almost a novel in themselves, and
subsequent readers have found them both fascinating and
stylistically charming. It has won its place among readers as a
beautiful autograph portrait of a virtuous, amiable, and sensible
woman, who, by the natural charm of her literary-style, is as much
alive today as she was to the squires and shepherds and carriers of
the English countryside which was her beloved home.
