*' The Hindoos," says Dr. Ward, " will utter the most abominable falsehoods without a blush, and will commit perjuries so atrocious and dis- gusting as to fill those who visit the courts of 50 VICES OF THE HEATHEN. justice with horror."* *' To such a pitch of shameful audacity has the crirne of perjury reached in this province, (Hindoostan,) that a total distrust of human testimony is the conse- quence."t An habitual disregard of truth is an universal characteristic of these pagans. It is a com...mon sentiment among the people, that in secular affairs lying is absolutely necessary. " They lie so shockingly in things in which they gain nothing, that no one is certain of the truth of what his servant says. But let there be some- thing to be gained, or a fault covered, or a de- sire felt to injure another, and there are no bounds to their falsehoods but the fear of being discovered."!
