EV 848 Substitution by Raich
43 Answers
Have populated the grid, think I have identified the 36 clues that have redundant letters, but not all the letters. Those identified in clue order plus the gaps make little or no sense, so cannot make the SUBSTITUTION, or recognise the originator of the quote! Hints appreciated.

I may well be missing something - but I do have a complete grid with the substitution made.

Hello Rollo and DevaDolly,
The quote does have 30 letters, the 36 letters are those removed from the clues. The first 25 cryptically represent the quote, ignore 2 words in the quote and imagine how the rest can be represented cryptically. Novalis said earlier, it was the beginning of one word followed by 2 seven letter wordsand 1 four letter word, then the second part of the word that precedes them.
The next 11 letters are a group of 4 and a group of 7. The group of 4 is an alternative word for the first word of word in the title of the document, and the 7 a means of getting the substution!
