This work won for him the degree of Doctor of Divinity, conferred with other evidences of favor by Pope Urban VIII.

An orphan in his tenth year, he was educated by his godmother, whom he left at the age of eighteen to go penniless to Madrid. He suffered many hardships, and died in 1870 at the early age of thirty-four. Works: three volumes of prose and verse. Larra returned to Spain at the age of eight.
