Born in Buenos Aires, he initially studied law, but abandoned his studies in favor of politics.
In 1839, no sooner had he begun to make a name for himself than he was arrested for his opposition to Argentina"s conservative caudillo, Juan Manuel de Rosas. He was held in irons for six days. A year and a half later, the political climate spurred him, as it had many other Argentine dissenters, to flee the country.
He found passage to Montevideo on a French schooner.
He was welcomed by other exiles, among them Juan Bautista Alberdi, Florencio Varela, Esteban Echeverría, Juan María Gutiérrez, and Miguel Cané. Here he remained until February 1843, at which point he boarded a ship for Chile.
The ship encountered fierce storms and was eventually forced to return to Rio de Janeiro. He remained in the city another two years before returning to Montevideo, where he spent the next seven years.
The fall of Rosas after his defeat at the Battle of Caseros (1852) allowed Mármol to return to Argentina.
After an exile that had lasted thirteen years, he was elected a senator and later a national deputy from the province of Buenos Aires. The secession of Buenos Aires from the Argentine Confederation prevented him from serving as plenipotentiary to Chile, a post to which he had been appointed. However, he later served as plenipotentiary to Brazil.
In 1858 he became director of the Biblioteca Nacional de la República Argentina, until blindness forced him to retire.
He died in Buenos Aires in 1871. By coincidence, his two most notable successors in the office of chief librarian, Paul Groussac and Jorge Luis Borges, also suffered from blindness in their old age.
