About the author
Born in 1864 and active in London journalism, Charles Duguid built his reputation as a financial writer and editor focused on explaining the workings of the City and the stock market. Archival records describe him as a financial journalist, and his own books present him as a City editor writing for a broad readership.
He is best known for works including The Story of the Stock Exchange, The Stock Exchange, and How to Read the Money Article. These books were written to guide readers through market history, financial reporting, and the habits of investors at a time when modern financial journalism was taking shape.
Duguid died in 1923. Today, his writing still offers a revealing window into how finance was explained in the late Victorian and Edwardian eras, especially for readers curious about the language, culture, and public face of the London market.
