===Later life===
In 1868 Monturiol returned to political life. A member of the Federal Party, he was a deputy in the Constituent Assembly of the [[First Spanish Republic]] (1873), and shortly afterwards became the director of ''Fabrica Nacional del Timbre'' (''National [[Postage stamp|Stamp]] Factory'') in [[Madrid]] for a few months, where he implemented a process to speed up the manufacturing of adhesive paper. Monturiol's other inventions included a system for copying letters, a continuous printer, a rapid-firing cannon, a system to enhance the performance of steam generators, a stone cutter, a method for preserving meat, and a machine for making cigarettes.<ref>{{cite web| title =Monturiol Estarriol, Narciso| publisher =Oficina Española de Patentes y Marcas| url =http://historico.oepm.es/museovirtual/gi_plantilla.asp?acc=1&idioma=en&xml=Monturiol%20Estarriol,%20Narciso.xml| url-status =dead| archive-url =https://web.archive.org/web/20091223062315/http://historico.oepm.es/museovirtual/gi_plantilla.asp?acc=1&idioma=en&xml=Monturiol%20Estarriol,%20Narciso.xml| archive-date =23 December 2009}}</ref>
