New Jerjey, Trenton. 221 



time Trenton has encreafed fo much, that 

 there are at prefent near a hundred houfes. 

 The houfes were within divided into feveral 

 rooms by their partitions of boards. The 

 inhabitants of the place carried on a fmall 

 trade with the goods which they got from 

 Philadelphia, but their chief gain confided 

 in the arrival of the numerous travellers 

 between that city and New York ; for they 

 are commonly brought by the Trenton 

 Yachts from Philadelphia to Trenton, or 

 from thence to Philadelphia. But from 

 Trenton further to New Brim/wick, the tra- 

 vellers go in the waggons which fet out 

 every day for that place. Several of the in- 

 habitants however likewife fubfift on the 

 carriage for all forts of goods, which are 

 every day fent in great quantities, either 

 from Philadelphia to New York, or from 

 thence to the former place ; for between 

 Philadelphia and Trenton all goods go by 

 water, but between Trenton and NewBrunf- 

 wick they are all carried by land, and both 

 thefe conveniences belong to people of this 

 town. 



For the yachts which go between this 



place and the capital of Pe?7fyl c vania, they 



ufually pay a milling and fix-pence of Pen- 



fyhania currency per perfon, and every one 



pays belides for his baggage. Every paf-
