Russian Fairy Tales: A Choice Collection of Muscovite Folk-lore, To Him So Deeply Indebted., sentence 24

The subject is so extensive that it requires for its proper treatment more space than a single chapter could grant; and therefore, though not without reluctance, I have left the stories I have quoted to speak for themselves, except in those instances in which I have given the chief parallels to be found in the two collections of foreign folk-tales best known to the English reader, together with a few others which happened to fall within the range of my own reading.

Who acts: subject, single chapter, I, few others, my · What happens: be, require, grant, leave, quote, speak · To what, where: space, stories, chief parallels, instances, two collections, foreign folk tales · Speech: someone speaks here
