About This Book

A series of erudite letters lays out a comprehensive pedagogical reform adapted to Portuguese needs, arguing for a practical, accelerated curriculum. It critiques prevailing Latin and orthographic instruction, recommends a simplified Latin grammar that can be grasped quickly, advocates revision of existing vocabularies, and proposes a standardized Portuguese orthography and grammar for early instruction. Addressed to religious educators and university figures, the correspondence emphasizes usefulness to the republic and church, privacy of correspondence, and practical measures to improve youth education.
