              the truth or falsity of things.       --South.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     2. That which is false; falsehood; a lie; a false assertion.
        [1913 Webster]

     Usage: Falsity, Falsehood, Lie. Falsity denotes the
            state or quality of being false. A falsehood is a
            false declaration designedly made. A lie is a gross,
            unblushing falsehood. The falsity of a person's
            assertion may be proved by the evidence of others and
            thus the charge of falsehood be fastened upon him.
            [1913 Webster]
