I thoroughly recommend Dean John Burgon's work 'Revision Revised' which is available though Amazon from the USA.

John Burgon (Chichester 1813-1888) wrote just after the Revised version's appearance in 1881 and strongly resisted the introduction of the Westcott & Hort text. His book is a thorough analysis of the whole subject of Textual Criticism. He, himself, amassed 96,000 Patristic Citations, that is to say quotations of scripture by the early fathers (Jerome, Eusebius and so forth) which is further evidence (as well as manuscripts, translated versions and lectionary quotations) which, together, form conclusive indication of the genuine Greek text as written by the apostles themselves.

I read 'Revision Revised' as a convert in 1966 and have remained thoroughly convinced of his arguments for the past 50 years.
