Early Bardic Literature, Ireland., Early Bardic Literature, Ireland., part 6, sentence 48
That literature, however, so far from having been printed and published, has not even been translated, but still moulders in the public libraries of Europe, those who, like myself, are not professed Irish scholars, being obliged to collect their information piece-meal from quotations and allusions of those who have written upon the subject in the English or Latin language.
Who acts: moulders, those · What happens: print, publish, not translate, not profess, oblige, collect · To what, where: literature, Irish scholars, information piece meal, quotations
