For the year 1550 there are four books, and of these one St Ambrose, _Of opression_, said to be translated by Oswen himself, is known only from the entry in Herbert, derived from Maunsell’s catalogue. The other three, Zwingli’s _Short pathway to the Scriptures_, _The godly sayings of the old, ancient faithful fathers_ translated by John Veron, and Gribald’s _Notable and marvellous epistle_, are known, the first two from copies in the University Library and elsewhere, the last from a copy in the Bodleian. To the end of this year we may ascribe a very rare little octavo, _Almanack and prognostication for the year of our Lord_ 1551. _Practised by Simon Heringius and Lodowyke Boyard_. In April 1551 a new edition was issued of Bullinger’s _Dialogue between the rebel Anabaptist and the true Christian_, which is known from copies in the Bodleian and Brasenose College Library. Herbert had quoted an earlier edition of 1549, of which no copy is known and which is perhaps due to some confusion with the present edition. Bullinger’s _Most sure and strong defence of the baptism of children_, translated by John Veron, was also issued this year, and a copy is in the Bodleian. The third and last book of 1551 was issued in May, Hooper’s _Godly and most necessary annotations in the XIII. chapter to the Romans_, of which there is a copy in the University Library. From May 1551 until May 1553, exactly two years, no dated book is known from Oswen’s Worcester press, except the folio Prayer-book of 1552. Nor is there any undated book to be ascribed to these years, for Oswen’s books, so far as we know, are all dated. This is another of those unaccountable gaps that we so often find in the career of a printer. The last two Worcester books were issued in 1553, a _Homily to be read in time of pestilence_, written by Bishop Hooper and dated May 18, and the _Statutes of the seventh year of Edward VI._ A copy of the _Homily_ is in the University Library. It is a handsomely printed thin quarto, and has on the title-page besides four border-pieces, a woodcut of the Royal arms with supporters, and another of the youthful king seated on his throne. The _Statutes_ are described by Herbert from a copy in his own possession, but where it is at present is not known. Oswen printed altogether at Worcester some twenty-one books, so that it heads the list of provincial presses as regards numbers. The press is also noticeable for the comparative excellence of the printing and the variety of good border-pieces and initial letters, very much superior to the material used by most of the contemporary printers. From the class of books he issued we can well understand the cessation of his press as soon as Mary succeeded to the throne.
