Pedro Rodriguez Campomanes
Edit ProfileCareer
From 1788 to 1793 Pedro Rodríguez was president of the council of Castile; but on the accession of Charles IV he was removed from his office, and retired from public life, regretted by the true friends of his country.
His first literary work was Antiquidad maritima de la republica de Cartago, with an appendix containing a translation of the Voyage of Hanno the Carthaginian, with curious notes.
This appeared in a quarto volume in 1756.
As a supplement to the last, he published four appendices, each considerably larger than the original essay.
The third treats of the gild laws of artisans, contrasted with the results of Spanish legislation and the municipal ordinances of towns.
The fourth contains eight essays of Francisco Martinez de Mata on national commerce, with some observations adapted to present circumstances.
These were all printed at Madrid in 1774 and 1777, in five volumes.
Don A. Rodriguez Villa has placed a biographical notice of Campomanes as an introduction to the first edition of his Cartas politico- economicas, published in 1878.
