Jose Joaquin Olmedo

OLMEDO, Jose Joaquin (ol-may'-do), South American poet, born in Guayaquil in 1781; died there, 19 January, 1847. He studied in Lima in the University of San Marcos, was one of the American deputies to the first Spanish cortes, and belonged to the Liberal party. Evading the persecutions of Ferdinand VII., he returned to his country, and in 1822 was appointed deputy to the congress of Peru. Simon Bolivar appointed Olmedo diplomatic agent to the European courts, in which character he stayed in London till 1828, when he returned to Guayaquil. When the republic of Colombia was dissolved, Olmedo was elected vice-president of the republic of Ecuador, which place he resigned to accept the prefecture of the department of Guayaquil. He was a member of the provisional government that succeeded the presidency of Flores. In his country-seat near Guayaquil he gave his time to the cultivation of poetry, and his verses have been highly praised. One of his best poems, "Canto Ł Bolivar," was published in Paris in 1826. The rest of his works appeared under the title "Obras poeticas de J. J. Olmedo" (Valparaiso, 1848; Paris, 1853; and Mexico, 1862).
