Education and Early Career
He was born in 1746, the youngest of three brothers. His elder brother John Bogle eventually had a plantation in Virginia while his other brother, Robert Bogle, after the failure of a business adventure in London (the importing house of “Bogle and Scott”), established a cotton plantation in Grenada. Both intimately involved negro slaves. His four sisters married into their gentry network of traders, lairds and lawyers. His mother died when he was thirteen. The following year he matriculated at Edinburgh University where he studied Logic. He completed his education, when he was 18, at a private academy in Enfield, near London. Following this, he spent six months travelling in France. His brother Robert then took him on as a clerk in his London offices of Bogle and Scott where he spent four years as a cashier.
