<p> Southernmost of the New [[England]] States, is washed by Long Island Sound, has New York on the W., Rhode Island on the E., and [[Massachusetts]] on the N. It is the third smallest State, rocky and uneven in surface, unfertile except in the [[Connecticut]] River valley. Streams abound, and supply motive-power for very extensive manufactures of clocks, hardware, india-rubber goods, smallwares, textiles, and firearms. There are iron-mines in the NW., stone-quarries, lead, copper, and cobalt mines. Climate is healthy, changeable, and in winter severe. [[Education]] is excellently provided for. Yale University, at New Haven, is thoroughly equipped; there are several divinity schools, [[Trinity]] College at Hartford, and the Wesleyan University at Middleton. The capital is Hartford; New [[Haven]] is the largest town and chief port. The original colony was a democratic secession from Massachusetts in 1634. The constitution of 1639 was the first written democratic constitution on record. Its present constitution as a State dates from 1818. </p> | |||
