-
A Spanish dramatist, prose-writer, and statesman; born in Gijon, Asturia, Jan. 5, 1744; died at Vega, Nov. 27, 1811. His political and official career was not fortunate, although he filled high posts with distinction. As a writer he was happy; applause greeting his tragedy of "Pelagius", founded upon the fortunes of the famed Asturian king. His "Orations and Discourses" are the productions of a finished and talented rhetorician.
