Massive manuscript mayhem!

• The introduction is doing its best to imitate a fungus, I think.  It keeps groooowing, well beyond the length appropriate for any respectable introduction.  Because there needed to be more historical background--yes, yes, OK, many people have never heard of a Ritualist--and where else to put that but in the introduction? (Where one tends to introduce things.)  And I realized that the previous version somehow neglected to mention either the Reformation tercentenary commemorations or the Martyrs' Memorial in Oxford, both of which seem to be awfully relevant to the point in hand.   But they take up space! Ergo, I've been doing my best to prune, lop, and otherwise shorten the thing to some manageable length. 
• For some reason, the new chapters are all 3/4 complete.   It seems to me that perhaps I should finish them.  Like, now?
• As a break from book inflation, I realized that once the first chapter was chopped into two, the first half no longer made sense by itself.  Out it goes!
