Dorothy Osborne, Lady Temple was a British writer of letters, which have been published several times since their initial 1888 appearance in print. The text of editor Sir Edward Parry’s 1888 edition is available online at http://digital.library.upenn.edu/women/osborne/letters/letters.html; while it does containt useful commentary, he did not retain the original spelling and punctuation structure for his transcription, and the “modern English” arguably reduces the tone of Osborne’s prose. G. C. Moore Smith’s (1928) and Kenneth Parker’s (2002) critical editions retain Osborne’s spelling and punctuation.
