Critical Text footnotes and marginal notes in KJV Bibles

Hello,

I'm trying to find a list of modern runs of KJV bibles that do and do not have Critical Text
footnotes and marginal notes. Such as the new Thompsons, for example, I believe they
do have these critical notes inside. Not sure though. Does anyone know some that do
and some that do not? Thanks.

-Romans 16:17
Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.

Wow, that's a great link, thank you very much for the original notes!
Am currently wondering though, if these notes are being removed or replaced in modern KJV Bibles.

On another note, if anyone knows of tell tale footnotes or marginal critical text notes in KJV Bibles, can you list them here?

For Example, I noticed in many of my KJV Study Bibles, the notes for Mark 16:9 say most or many manuscripts do not include Mark 16:9-20 when in fact it's just two corrupt manuscripts that don't include them. Vaticanus which was found in a garbage bin where it belongs, and the Sinaiticus or Satanicus manuscript. Same with Matthew 17:21 which mention fasting was not included.



Tell-tale spot test: Matthew 17:21 what's the note?

Tell-tale spot test 2: Mark 16:9-20 what's the note?



Do you know of any more?

Vaticanus was not found in a trash bin. When the librarians of the Vatican made their first catalog it was there. The Bible is from the early 4th century and therefore very valuable. True it has mistakes, which scholars call corruption. What Bible does not. True, scholars have overvalued its readings. But I have noticed when Vaticanus and Sinaiticus split, one or the other will go with a Byzantine reading. I believe I heard that from Dr. Robinson first. They are copies of the Bible so are very valuable just because they are ancient Bibles. They contain, or once contained the whole Bible, New Testaments included. True, they are usually not as accurate as the KJV or any modern Bible. We may usually reject its readings when different than our Bibles. Our Bibles today are more accurate, including the KJV, NASB, ESV, NKJV and so on and so forth.
