"Miscellany of sundry Essays, Paradoxes, Problematical Discourses, Letters, and Characters, together with political Deductions from the History of the Earl of Essex",' London, 1659. All these works were subsequently bound together, and entitled Osborne's "Works". The collective edition of 1673 was brought to the notice of the House of Lords on 13 March 1676, on the ground that its incidental vindication of a republican form of government in England rendered it a seditious and treasonable publication. Reissues followed in 1682 (8th edit.), 1689 (9th edit.), 1701 (10th edit.), and 1722, in 2 vols. (11th edit.) To the last are prefixed a memoir of Osborne and many previously unprinted letters addressed by him to Colonel Draper between 1653 and 1658. Osborne has also been credited, apparently wrongly, with "Private Christian's non ultra, or a Plea for the Layman's interpreting the Scriptures", Oxford, 1650, (anon.); with "A Dialogue of Polygamy" (London, 1657), translated from the Italian of Bernardino Ochino by 'a person of quality', and dedicated to the author of the "Advice"; and William Sprigge's "A modest Plea for an equal Commonwealth against Monarchy".
