The Nuevo Método de Educación para el uso de las Escuelas del Campo is an 1832 printed document, found in the Archivo General Andrés Bello and written by Padre Mujica, who belonged to the Colejio y Chacra de Apoquindo de la Recoleta Dominica. It is a valuable document on education, as it contains a practical dialoguebased teaching method which reveals, by means of a question-andanswer logic, the knowledge that pupils should acquire on various school subjects. Not only is this printed document useful to get a glimpse of how the teaching methods were at that time, but it also provides us with a rich linguistic sample that serves us to analyze some grammatical and lexical aspects, especially the forms of treatment, of which it presents abundant instances.
