The Higman's Lemma says that if A is a well-quasi-order, so is the set of finite sequences over A with the order induced by embedding. By considering the structure of the categories of well-founded quasi-orders and well-quasi-orders, another proof of the Lemma will be derived, along with a number of variants, which may be of some interest.
