Another reason the gov- ernment and the Bank of Canada might want tokeep the Canadian dollar from sliding too dar-is the effect of inflation.

Book Review By Perey Maddux Although she gained notoriety in her own day through her unorthodox. writ- ings, publishers were willing to publish. Mary Wollstonecraft is chiefly remembered, as- being the mother of Mrs. Shelley. At the time of the French Revolution she rushed to Paris where she decided to “shack up” with Gilbert Imlay from America, When he went to Le Havre, she went there to have her baby (instead of going to England to have it). Meanwhile he returned to Paris and when she got to Paris, he had gone sback to London.
