TREVISAN, or Trevigiano, a province of Italy, 

 bounded on the north by the Bellunefe, on the north-€aft by 

 Friuli, on the fouth-eaft by the gulf of Venice, on the fouth- 

 weft by the Paduan, and on the weft by the Vicentin ; about 

 twenty-four miles in length, and nearly as much in breadth. 

 The whole country is exceedingly fertile, and appears like 

 a continued garden. When annexed to the Lombards, it 

 ■was erefted into a marca or marquifate. However, many 

 considerable parts were detached from this marca in the pro- 

 grefs of time ; and only that part of it fituated between the 

 Friuli and the Paduano remained in the pofTeflion of the city 

 of Trevigio, when the repubhc of Venice acquired the do- 

 minion both of the city and adjacent diftrift, by the peace 

 of 1338. In the year 1344, a folemn embafly, fent by the 

 inhjibitants of Trevigio to Venice, confirmeid this acquifition. 

 The marca Trevifana was divided into four principtJ diftrifts ; 

 W2. the territory of Trevigio, of Belluna, of Feltri, and the 

 territory of Ceneda. Of the territory of Trevjfo, a fmall 

 portion is mountainous, but the reft is even and very fertile. 

 It produces all forts of grain, vrine, and fruit, in great 

 plenty. There is alfo a vaft number of ftieep, black cattle, 

 hares, common fowls, turkeys, fieldfares, quails, partridges, 

 fnipes, and other game ; fi(h of every defcription, as trout, 

 lampreys, pike, eels, craw-fifh, &c. Excellent cheefe is 

 made ; and, next to corn, filk and wool are the moll im- 

 portant natural produftions. The woods arc very conftder- 

 able. The principal rivers are the Piave, the Sile, and the 

 Mufone. The number of inhabitants amounts to 280,000. 

 It is now annexed to the new kingdom of Italy. 



TREVISANI, Francesco, in Biography, a native of 

 Trevigi, was initiated in the artby Zanchi at Venioe, where, 

 in contradiftinftion of Angiolo, his relative, he was called 

 Roman. At Rome he formed himfelf on the beft ftyles of 

 the day, but an unbounded talent for mimicking every man- 

 ner, from Correggio to Cignani, never fuffered him to perfift 

 long in the imitation of one model. Rome is gorged with 

 his piftures : they often pofiefs elegance of choice, a finilhed 

 pencil, and a general ftrength of tone. His S. Jofeph, in 

 the church of the Collegio Romano, is a diftinguirtied per- 

 formance. He died in 1746, aged 90. FufeH's Pilkington. 



Trevisani, Angiolo, was born and refided at Venice. 

 His inventive power is proved at the Carita and other 

 churches of that capital, but his real merit lay in portrait. 

 By perfevering in that ftudy, he acquired a ftyle not fublime 

 indeed, but natural, feleft, and adapted to the times. The 

 diligence and dexterity of hi» tool greatly affifted him in the 

 management of his chiaro-fcuro. He was living in 1753.

TREW, Christopher .Tames, in Biography, a phyfician 

 and naturalilt, was born at Lauffen, in Franconia, in 1695, 

 and fettled at Nuremberg, where he gained medical and lite- 

 rary reputation, fo as to be made direftor of the academy 

 " NatursE Curioforum." He alfo contributed much towards 

 eftabhfhing a fociety under the title of " Commercium Litte- 

 rarium Noricum ad Rei Medics et Scientise Naluralis 

 Incrqmentum inftitutum," which publiflied its memoirs. To 

 thefe focieties he communicated feveral papers, and he alfo 

 pubUlhed feveral fplendid works in anatomy and botany. 

 Among others, we may enumerate the following : " De 

 Differentiis quibufdam inter Hominem natum et nafcendum 

 intercedentibus," 1736, 4to. ; " Epiftola ad Alb. Hallerum 

 de Vafis Linguae falivalibus et fanguiferis," 1734, 4to. ; 

 " Tabulje OfteologiciE Corporis Humani," fol. max. with 

 coloured plates, 1767. In 1750 he commenced his publica- 

 tion of one of the moft fplendid of the imitations of Flora, 

 linder the title of " Plants felefts, quarum Imagines pinxit 

 G. Dionyfius Ehret." To the incomparable defigns of 

 Ehret, Trew added defcriptions and remarks ; and the work 

 appeared in decades, feven of which were completed. I> the 

 fame year he began a fimilar publication of garden flowers, 

 intitled " Amocniffimac Florum Invagints," which was car- 

 ried on to fii decades. He alfo publifhed an improved edition 

 of Blackwell's Herbal, in Englifh and German, with an ad- 

 dition of fome plants. Being in poflefiion of Gefner's wooden 

 plates, ^e gave an impreffion of 216 figures of plants from 

 them, intitled " Icones pofthtuns Gefnerianae," 1748. Trew

TREWlA, in Botany, was fo named by Linnaeus, at tlw 

 end of his Genera Plantarum, in honour of Cliriftopher James 

 Trew, an opulent phyfician at Nuremberg, who has dif- 

 tinguiftied himfelf as the editor of fome of Ehret's figures, 

 in the moft fplendid ftyle, with learned defcriptions and ex- 

 planations of his own, under the title of Plantx SekSa. Of 

 a fimilar charafter are his Florum Imagines, in fix decades. 

 His improved edition of Mrs. Blackwell's Herbal, in Ger- 

 man, with valuable additions, has proved acceptable to his 

 countrymen ; as have his numerous botanical and phyfiolo- 

 gical effays, publifhed chiefly in the Commercium Lilterarium 

 at Nuremberg, between the years 1730 and 1746, to the 

 fcientific world in general. He is charged by Ludwig, in 

 a letter to Haller, with undertaking more than he could 

 accomphfh ; nor does lie ftand in the higheft rank of correft 

 and plMlofophieal botanifts. He died in 1769, aged 74. (See
