Alexander Dyce was the first to notice variant readings in copies of the first quartos of Webster's plays, but his list, which was accepted by F. L. Lucas for his edition of 1927, is by no means complete. I have now collated all the copies of The White Devil (1612), The Duchess of Malfi (1623), and The Devil's Law Case (1623) which are known to me, and this article lists all the press-variants I have found. The very minor variants due to deterioration of the type during printing are excluded from my lists. Normally, changes in the spacing of the type are also excluded.

My work has been greatly facilitated by the use of microfilm copies supplied through the kind permission and co-operation of libraries in the United States. To many of their librarians I am also indebted for answers to queries arising from the scrutiny of these films.
