When this was in galley proof, R. B. Parker's note on "Alterations in the First Edition of Greene's A Quip for an Upstart Courtier (1592)" was published in Huntington Library Quarterly, XXIII (1960), 181-186. Mr Parker anticipates my reversal of the accepted order of the two states of sheet F, but differs in his interpretation of the evidence and in his conclusions about the authority of the alterations.

See E. H. Miller, 'Greene's Quip for an Upstart Courtier', SB, VI (1954), 108, 111-112.
