Grace
DAYS OF, in commerce, a certain number of days immediately following the day, specified on the face of a bill or note, on which it becomes due.

GRAFTON GRADISCA (grä-dis'kä), a town of Italy, on the Isonzo, 25 miles N. W. of Trieste. First fortified by the Venetians in 1478. Gradisca, with its territory, came into the hands of Austria in 1511, and during the next century and a half figured frequently in the wars between Austria and Venice. In 1647 it became a principality of the empire, but lapsed to the imperial crown again in 1717, and in 1754 was united to Görz.
It reverted to Italy as the result of the treaty of St. Germain, following the World War.
