This is an ordinary paragraph, introducing a block quote.
"It is my business to know things. That is my trade."
-- Sherlock Holmes
Text after quote.
In typesetting, block quotations can be distinguished from the
surrounding text by variation in typeface (often italic vs. roman),
type size, or by indentation. Often combinations of these methods are
used, but are not necessary. Block quotations are also visually
distinguished from preceding and following main text blocks by a white
line or half-line space.[3]
Fielding hides his own opinions on the matter deep in Tom Jones: —
Now, in reality, the world have paid too great a compliment to
critics, and have imagined them men of much greater profundity
than they really are. From this complaisance the critics have
been emboldened to assume a dictatorial power, and have so far
succeeded that they are now become the masters, and have the
assurance to give laws to those authors from whose
predecessors they originally received them.
