About the author
Born in 1864, Charles Duguid was a British financial journalist and writer best known for explaining the world of finance to general readers. Records from The National Archives describe him as a financial journalist, and his books were published in the early 1900s, when public interest in markets, speculation, and modern business was growing.
He is best known for works including The Story of the Stock Exchange and The Stock Exchange. These books combine history, reporting, and plain-language explanation, suggesting he was interested not just in prices and trading, but in helping readers understand how financial institutions worked and why they mattered.
Although not widely remembered today, his writing offers a useful window into the financial culture of his time. For readers interested in business history, investing, or the rise of modern markets, his books still have real curiosity and documentary value.
