TRENT, a city of Germany, and capital of the bishopric of that name; is a very ancient place, and stands in a fertile and pleasant plain, in the midst of the high mountains of the Alps. The river Adige washes its walls, and, creeping for some time among the hills, runs swiftly into Italy. Trent has three considerable churches, the principal of which is the cathedral: this is a very regular piece of architecture. The church of St Maria Major, is all of red and white marble; and is remarkable for being the place where the famous council of Trent was held, whose decisions are now the standing rule of the Romish church.
