Francico Romá y Rosell (b. Mataró, Spain, died 1784) was a Spanish royal official in Valladolid and New Spain. He was the first regent of the Real Audiencia of Mexico. In this capacity, after the death of Viceroy Antonio María de Bucareli y Ursúa and before the arrival of his successor, Martín de Mayorga, Romá served as interim governor of the colony from April 9, 1779 to August 23, 1779. ==Early career and writings== Romá y Rosell received a doctorate in laws in Huesca. He practiced as a lawyer in Barcelona, and then entered the royal civil service. Over a long career he served in Catalonia, Castile and New Spain. He was a member of the Royal Academy of Experimental Physics and Agriculture of Barcelona. In 1766 he edited ''Disertación histórico-político-legal para los Colegios y Gremios de la Ciudad de Barcelona'' (''Historical-Political-Legal Dissertation for the Associations and Professions of Barcelona''), in which he attempted to show the benefits of the professions for the improvement of public order, the laudable customs of the artisans, and the quality of manufactures in the city. In 1768 he published ''Señales de la felicidad de España y medios de hacerlos eficaces'' (''Signs of the Happiness of Spain and Means to Make It More Effective''). In this latter work he argued that the development of agriculture, industry and commerce was needed to move Spain out of its current state of decadence. In a passage later quoted by other authors, he said: People no longer try to buy sturdy, heavy clothes that can be passed on to their great-grandchildren. No long does anyone say, "I wore out two pairs of sleeves on this coat". Everyone is pleased to wear light clothes, whose low price allows them the satisfaction of following the fashion, which changes every year. (1768 edition, pp. 160-161).() Also in this book he argued for the expropriation of unused land.() In 1769 he was named ''alcalde de hijosdalgo'' in the Chancellery of Valladolid. In 1771 he was promoted to the criminal chamber of the court, and just four years after that he became an ''oidor'' (civil judge). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Francisco Romá y Rosell」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
