-
A Mexican comedy-writer and diplomat; born in Vera Cruz, Nov. 13, 1791; died at Tacubaya, Oct. 23, 1851. His father was Spanish governor of Mexico. At 25 he had made theatre-goers of Madrid familiar with his name, but his implication in schemes of Mexican independence interfered with his literary career. He was made Mexican minister to England when independence was secured, and later had himself transferred to Paris, in which city he achieved his most enduring renown as a writer of plays. Among them, "Bread and an Onion, with Thee, Love", merits special notice as the source of Scribe's "A Cottage and its Heart". His "Allowance for All" and "Such as It Is" are masterpieces in comedy construction.
