Excerpt from The Old Venetian Palaces and Old Venetian Folk
Ir there is one experience more delightful than a first visit to Venice, it is a second; the urgent pre-occupation of the move peregrin to pretermit nothing of importance amid the wealth of beauty and historic interest offered to his gaze, gives place to a calmer enjoyment; objects fall into their due perspective; ideal preconceptions are corrected, and the sojourner may turn to the study and appreciation of some particular phase of the manifold attractions of the city: to such returning lovers the ensuing pages are directed.
