ABSTRACT
Perhaps there cannot be a subject of greater political importance, or better calculated to lead us in safety through the mazes of controversy, than that of the value of truth. Truth may be considered by us, either abstractedly, as it relates to certain general and unchangeable principles, or practically, as it relates to the daily incidents and ordinary commerce of human life. In whichever of these 5 views we consider it, the more deeply we meditate its nature and tendency, the more shall we be struck with its unrivalled importance. /
