Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The History of Canadian Currency, Banking and Exchange: Crisis and Resumption
Hen the suspension of the banks of the eastern States and Lower Canada took place, it was the conviction of the leading merchants and bankers of Upper Canada that suspension should take place there also. But the limb-governor Sir F. 8. Head, would not hear of it. His attitude on the subject was apparently determined. In large measure. By his intense hatred of everything American. And his consequent aversion to following that example. Quite ignoring all the exceptional conditions of the situation, he maintained that the promises of the banks should be kept in the letter. Even though the commercial heavens should fall. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
