  TRUTH, n.  An ingenious compound of desirability and appearance. 
  Discovery of truth is the sole purpose of philosophy, which is the
  most ancient occupation of the human mind and has a fair prospect of
  existing with increasing activity to the end of time.
  
  

  Truth
     Used in various senses in Scripture. In Prov. 12:17, 19, it
     denotes that which is opposed to falsehood. In Isa. 59:14, 15,
     Jer. 7:28, it means fidelity or truthfulness. The doctrine of
     Christ is called "the truth of the gospel" (Gal. 2:5), "the
     truth" (2 Tim. 3:7; 4:4). Our Lord says of himself, "I am the
     way, and the truth" (John 14:6).

  TRUTH. The actual state of things. 
       2. In contracts, the parties are bound to toll the truth in their 
  dealings, and a deviation from it will generally avoid the contract; Newl. 
  on Contr. 352-3; 2 Burr. 1011; 3 Campb. 285; and even concealment, or 
  suppressio veri, will be considered fraudulent in the contract of insurance. 
  1 Marsh. on Ins. 464; Peake's N. P. C. 115; 3 Campb. 154, 506. 
       3. In giving his testimony, a witness is required to tell the truth, 
  the whole truth, and nothing but the truth; for the object in the 
  examination of matters of fact, is to ascertain truth. 
       4. When a defendant is sued civilly for slander or a libel, he may 
  justify by giving the truth in evidence; but when a criminal prosecution is 
  instituted by the commonwealth for a libel, he cannot generally justify by 
  giving the truth in evidence. 
       5. The constitutions of several of the United States have made special 
  provisions in favor of giving the truth in evidence in prosecutions for 
  libels, under particular circumstances. In the constitutions of 
  Pennsylvania, Delaware, Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, it 
  is declared, that in publications for libels on men in respect to their 
  public official conduct, the truth may be given in evidence, when the matter 
  published was proper for public information. The constitution of New York 
  declares, that in all prosecutions or indictments for libels, the truth may 
  be given in evidence to the jury; and if it shall appear to the jury that 
  the matter charged as libelous, is true, and was published with good motives 
  and for justifiable ends, the party shall be acquitted. By constitutional 
  provision in Mississippi and Missouri, and by legislative enactment in New 
  Jersey, Arkansas, Tennessee, Act of 1805, c. 6: and Vermont, Rev. Stat. tit. 
  11, c. 25, s.  68; the right to give the truth in evidence has been more 
  extended; it applies to all prosecutions or indictments for libels, without 
  any qualifications annexed in restraint of the privilege. Cooke on Def. 61.
