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 (53); New Haven (81) 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.
