About this Quote

In this quote, Anthony Trollope highlights the importance of reality and stability in 2 various occupations - that of an author and a lawyer. He suggests that for an author to be effective, they should have a deep love for fact. This indicates that their writing must be based on truths and reality, instead of fabricated or overemphasized. Likewise, a barrister, who is responsible for supporting justice and defending the fact in a law court, must likewise have a strong dedication to reality. Trollope suggests that without this love for reality, both an author and a barrister would be absolutely nothing, as their work would do not have reliability and purpose.
