The article aims to investigate Brazilian education in the 19th century, based on the thirty-seven letters written by the education preceptor Ina von Binzer during her stay in Brazil between 1881 and 1883. Taking the methodology of cultural history, we highlight from Chartier (1994) that the historian's task is to offer adequate and controlled knowledge about personage, mentalities and prices, always vigilant of his object, since this can enable answers to future inquisitions. Ina von Binzer's letters allow us to conclude that, in the period under discussion, there was little investment in the construction and expansion of public schools for Brazilians. Instead, there was the spread of specific private education for boys and another for girls, in addition to a lack of recognition of the right to education for non-white people. So, the educational duality that marks the history of Brazilian education emerges.
