Books on markets before 1900, from Asindu Drileba
I noticed that I know of very few books on the stock market before 1900. I only know of:
Confusion of Confusions, by Joseph De La Vega (1688)
The Art of Investing, by John F Hume (1888)
Are there any books about the market before 1900 that can help me grow this list?
