VALDES, Antonio Jose, Cuban historian, born at Matanzas in 1770; died in Mexico in 1824. He received his education in Havana and was successively a goldsmith, clerk in a commercial house, a printer, a teacher, and finally a journalist. After an eventful life in his native country he went to Buenos Ayres in 1818, where he founded a successful newspaper, "El Censor," but in 1820 he went to Mexico, and the Emperor Hurbide appointed him in 1822 his court printer. Valdes published " Principios generales de la lengua castellana" (Havana, 1806); " Historia General de la Isla de Cuba y en especial de la Habana" (1811 ; reprinted in the work " Los tres primeros historiadores de Cuba," 1876); and many educational works, which were used as text-books in the schools of the island.
