Abstract
In 1823, after the squashing of Riego and the restoration of the absolutism of Fernando VII, most of the Spanish liberals went to England, where they carried out different scientific and technical activities. Among the émigrés there was reputed scientists, like Bauzá, Lagasca o Seoane, that in London were able to continue with their scientific activities. Other émigrés carried out an important activity of diffusion of scientific and technical advances through papers and notes that appeared in different magazines of general character published in the Spanish language; of special interest was El Museo Universal de Ciencias y Artes, directed and edited by J. J. Mora, and dedicated entirely to the scientific and technical divulgation. There was, likewise, another activity related to the scientific education, the «scientific catechisms», brief textbooks on mathematics, geography, chemistry, natural sciences, etc., directed towards elementary teaching and aimed to Latino American people, published by Ackermann.

Summary
RESUMEN En 1823, tras el aplastamiento de Riego y la reinstauración del absolutismo fernandino, se produjo un exilio masivo de liberales hacia el Reino Unido, donde realizaron diversas actividades relacionadas con la ciencia y la técnica. Entre los liberales exiliados había reputados científicos, como Mariano Lagasca, Felipe Bauzá o Mateo Seoane, que en Londres pudieron proseguir con sus actividades científicas. Otros emigrados realizaron una importante labor de difusión de los adelantos científicos y técnicos a través de las diferentes revistas editadas en lengua española; entre ellas destacó El Museo Universal de Ciencias y Artes, dirigida y redactada por J. Finalmente, otra actividad relacionada con la educación científica, la elaboración de los «catecismos científicos», breves manuales de iniciación en matemáticas, geografía, química, ciencias naturales, etc., dedicados a la enseñanza elemental y destinados al público hispanoamericano, editados por Ackermann. La estancia fue posible gracias a sendas ayudas de la DGES (Programa de Movilidad y Perfeccionamiento del Profesorado) y de la Fundación Séneca (Consejería de Educación y Cultura de la Comunidad Autónoma de Murcia)
