THE GRAND CANAL.

I: FROM THE DOGANA TO THE PALAZZO REZZONICO, LOOKING TO THE LEFT The river of Venice--Canal steamers--Motor boats--Venetian nobility to-day--The great architects--A desirable enactment--The custom house vane--The Seminario and Giorgione--S.

Maria della Salute--Tintoretto's "Marriage in Cana"-- The lost blue curtain--San Gregorio--The Palazzo Dario--Porphyry--The story of S.Vio--Delectable homes--Browning in Venice--S.

Maria della Carita.
To me the Grand Canal is the river of Venice--its Thames, its Seine, its Arno.

I think of it as "the river." The rest are canals.
