Two documents five years apart concerning the needed educational reform in Portugal at the Collegio de Nobres.

Pombal's attempt "was not a successful enterprise: among the main causes for its failures were financial difficulties the attitude of the Portuguese nobility who antagonized such an educational programme disciplinary questions and the inappropriateness of the course to students who were too young to profit from them. Scientific teaching lasted for 5 years 1766-1772 " In The Sciences in the European Periphery During the Enlightenment p. 11.
