A Lie Never Justifiable

""A Lie Never Justifiable"" is a book written by H. Clay Trumbull that discusses the importance of honesty and the negative consequences of lying. The author argues that lying is never justifiable, even in situations where it may seem necessary or beneficial. Trumbull uses examples from history, literature, and everyday life to illustrate the damaging effects of lies on individuals and society as a whole. He also provides practical advice on how to cultivate a habit of honesty and integrity. This book is a thought-provoking and insightful read for anyone interested in the ethics of truth-telling and its impact on personal and societal relationships.Because of the obvious gain in lying in times of extremity, and because of the manifest peril or cost of truth-telling in an emergency, attempts have been made, by interested or prejudiced persons, all along the ages, to reconcile the general duty of adhering to an absolute standard of right, with the special inducements, or temptations, to depart from that standard for the time being. It has been claimed by many that the results of a lie would, under certain circumstances, justify the use of a lie.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
