Russian Fairy Tales: A Choice Collection of Muscovite Folk-lore, Chapter II. MYTHOLOGICAL, part 1, sentence 22

A family likeness will, of course, be traced between all these conceptions of popular fancy, but the gloomy figures with which the folk-tales of the Slavonians render us familiar may be distinguished at a glance among their kindred monsters of Latin, Hellenic, Teutonic, or Celtic extraction.

Who acts: folk tales, Slavonians · What happens: trace, render, distinguish, conceive, tell · To what, where: family likeness, us, gloomy figures, glance, popular fancy · Speech: someone speaks here
