Minister of Money

Henry Duncan, Founder of the Savings Bank Movement

Charles W Munn
A parish minister in Dumfriesshire, the Reverend Henry Duncan (1774–1846) was also a poet, novelist, geologist and social reformer. This biography explores the ways in which he fused the at-times antagonistic traditions of Presbyterianism and the Scottish enlightenment with his greatest achievement, that of the founding of the world's first community savings bank. Designed to help the ‘industrious poor’ save for times of hardship, the idea contributed to lifting many out of poverty. Slightly off-mint
