Julio Burell (1859-1919) had commenced his career as a republican journalist, writing in El Progreso and Nuevo Heraldo. A convert to liberalism, he then wrote for León y Castillo's La Opinión. Prior to the Galdós banquet, he had served as «gobernador civil» of Jaén (1900) and Toledo (1901). He later served under Canalejas as Minister of Public Instruction (1910- 1911). In January 1916, Burell, as Minister of Public Instruction, appointed Galdós to a sinecure with a monthly salary of one thousand pesetas, thereby alleviating the novelisc's financial difficulties.
