Disposition of capital letters.
(Enzer) (second) edition, are without it in the ‘Enzer’ (first) edition.
Similarly, capitals beginning common nouns within the line are distributed capriciously through both issues. But they do not appear in the same places in both copies. It may be estimated that the superfluous capital appears sixty-five times in the ‘Enzer’ copy in places where it is absent from the other copy, and sixty-nine times in the ‘Enzer’ copy in places where it is absent from the ‘Enzer’ edition.

Stafford’s text of 1611.

His press was, before 1602, in Adling Street, on Adling Hill, ‘near Carter Lane Inn’ (now Addle Street, E. C.), and from 1602 onwards in Hosier Lane, near Smithfield. His more notable undertakings before 1609 were Richard Carew’s Survey of Cornwall for John Jaggard, in 1602, and the pre-Shakespearean play of King Lear for John Wright in 1605.
