Another project that was started several years ago will quite possibly never be finished; Anacalypsis, an attempt to draw aside the veil of the Saïtic Isis, or, an inquiry into the origin of languages, nations and religions by Godfrey Higgins (first published 1836 in two quarto volumes totalling over 1400 pages), a monsterpiece of speculative prehistory which seems to have had an influence exceeding its comparatively small original print run (200 copies of which many were allegedly destroyed unsold).
So far I have managed to re-set a bit over a tenth of this work (the preliminaries and first three "books" of vol. i); this can now be read on scribd. Maybe I'll do some more some time; but right now I really need to get a day job.
