With the creation of industrial education in Portugal in 1852, a new era began in the formation of a specialized workforce. As a predominantly practical teaching, it entailed the acquisition of scientific instruments in France, England and Germany to equip the auxiliary educational establishments, and a large number of handbooks in French, chosen by the teachers of the respective chairs. There is a great interest in scientific and editorial production developed in France, but the French editors of the nineteenth century also profusely translated foreign works, resulting in a wide scientific dissemination through more economical monographs and easy acquisition. The analysis of these contents in a transversal way allows us to know more deeply the educational practices, as well as possible influences on the didactic methods adopted in Oporto.
