Russian Fairy Tales: A Choice Collection of Muscovite Folk-lore, Magic and Witchcraft., part 5, sentence 92

As I have elsewhere given some account of Slavonic beliefs in witchcraft,[357] I will do little more at present than allow the stories to speak for themselves.

Who acts: I, stories · What happens: give, do, allow, speak, account · To what, where: account, present, stories, Slavonic beliefs · Speech: someone speaks here
