TRENTE ET UN  TRENTON 859

order of the council, appeared at Rome in 1566, and the collection of documents relating to its history was edited by Le Plat (7 vols. 4to, Louvain, 1781). The first complete history of the council was written by Paolo Sarpi (London, 1619 ; English translation by Brent, London, 1676), in a spirit of decided opposition to the papal court. Against him wrote Cardinal Sforza-Pallavicino (2 vols., Rome, 1656-'7). A work on the discrepancies of both has been published by Dr. Brischar (2 vols., Tübingen, 1843). Mendham's “Memoirs of the Council of Trent” (London, 1834) contains extracts from 28 volumes of manuscripts collected in Italy by Lord Guilford. See also Waterworth's history of the council prefixed to his translation of its canons and decrees (London, 1848), and Étude historique sur le concile de Trente, by L. Maynier (part i., Paris, 1874). Important “Documents relating to the History of the Council of Trent” have been published from Austrian archives by Tickel (Vienna, 1872). The long expected publication of the original acts of the council, by Augustin Theiner, prefect of the Vatican council, took place in 1874 (Acta genuina Ss. Œcumenici Concilii Tridentini, Agram); the work is believed to give, not the minutes of the council as they were taken down by the secretary, but a careful revision.

TRENTON, a city and the capital of New Jersey and of Mercer co., on the left bank of the Delaware river at the confluence of Assunpink creek, and at the head of steamboat navigation, 28 m. N. E. of Philadelphia, and 55 m. S. W. of New York; lat. 40° 14′ N., lon. 74° 46′ 30″ W.; pop. in 1860, 17,228; in 1870, 22,874, of whom 5,019 were foreigners; in 1875, 25,031. The city is regularly laid out, and lighted with gas. Assunpink creek divides it into nearly equal parts, Trenton and South Trenton. Water is raised from the Delaware to a reservoir N. of the city.

State Capitol of New Jersey.

The capitol is a handsome stone building, recently enlarged, 240 ft. by 120, stuccoed in imitation of granite. The county court house is in South Trenton. There is also a good city hall. Trenton contains one of the state lunatic asylums, founded in 1848, and having accommodation for 600 patients; the state normal school, established in 1855, and having extensive buildings; the state penitentiary, and the state arsenal. There is now (1876) in course of construction by the United States government a large and handsome building, of Ohio sandstone, intended for the post office and United States courts and offices, to cost $500,000. The soldiers' children's home and the state industrial school for girls are near by. There are two bridges over the Delaware opposite the city, one 1,100 ft. long, built about 1810, and recently reconstructed of iron, and the other about 1,300 ft. long, completed in 1860. The Delaware and Raritan canal passes through the city, forming a water communication with Philadelphia and New York, and, by its navigable feeder, with Lambertville and New Hope, about 18 m. N. Trenton is connected with Philadelphia and New York by the Pennsylvania railroad, and is the point of junction with the Belvidere Delaware railroad, which runs to the Water Gap and connects with the coal regions of Pennsylvania. The manufacture of crockery is the most important industry, Trenton surpassing all other places in the country in this respect. There are 13 potteries, producing white granite and brown ware to the value of about $3,000,000 annually. The city also contains iron founderies, breweries, paper mills, woollen mills, rolling mills, rubber works, zinc works, and manufactories of engines and boilers, wire, terra cotta, belting and hose, edge tools, soap, carriages, nails, saws, scales, &c. There are two national banks with a joint capital of $1,000,000, a state bank with $500,000 capital, three savings banks, and two insurance companies with a joint capital of $700,000. The city is governed by a mayor and a common council of three members from each of the seven wards. It has street railroads and an efficient fire department. The principal charitable institutions are a home for widows, a children's home, and the hospital of St. Francis. There
