Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: LUP-MAL
MADOZ, PASCUAL (1806-1870) , Spanish statistician, was born at Pampeluna on the 7th of May 1806. In early life he was settled in
Barcelona
 , as a writer and journalist. He joined the Progresista party formed during the first Carlist war, 1833-40. He saw some service against the Carlists; was elected
deputy
  to the
Cortes
  of 1836; took
part
  for Espartero, and then against him; was imprisoned in 1843; went into
exile
  and returned; was
governor
  of
Barcelona
  in 1854, and minister of finance iri 1855; had a large share in secularizing the
Church
  lands; and after the revolution of 1868 was
governor
  of Madrid. He had, however, no
great
  influence as a leader and soon went abroad, dying at Genoa in 1870.
Madoz
  was distinguished from most of the politicians of his generation by the fact that in middle life he compiled what is still a book of valuea geographical, statistical and historical dictionary of Spain and its possessions oversea, Diccionario geografico, estadistico y historico de Espana, y sus posesiones de Ultramar (Madrid, 1848-1850).
