New Jerfey, Trenton. 173 



Trenton Tachts from Philadelphia to Trenton, or 

 from thence to Philadelphia. But from Trenton 

 further to New Brunfwick, the travellers go in 

 the waggons which fet out every day for that 

 place. Several of the inhabitants, however, 

 like wife fubfift on the carriage for all forts of 

 goods, which are every day fent in great quan-

 from thence to the former place ; for between 

 Philadelphia and Trenton all goods go by water, 

 but between Trenton and New Erunfwick they 

 are all carried by land, and both thefe conve- 

 niences belong to people of this town. 



FOR the yachts which go between this place 

 and the capital of Penfylvania, they ufually pay 

 a {hilling and fix pence of Penfyhania currency

 between Trenton and New Erunfwick a perfon 

 pays two (hillings and fix pence, and the bag- 

 gage is likewife paid for feparately.

 without woods > on the other hand, I never faw 

 any place in America, the towns excepted, fo 

 well peopled. An old man, who lived in this 

 neighbourhood, and accompanied us for fome 

 part of the road, however affured me, that he 

 could well remember the time, when between 

 Trenton and New Erunfwick there were not above 



three
