		Dewdney protested the subsequent cuts to his budget, explaining to Ottawa that he did not want the Indians to suffer and that he required flexibility in using the work-for-rations policy — but his objections were in vain.
		Dewdney promoted the further subdivision of agencies, the appointment of additional personnel, such as inspector Alexander McGibbon*, to ensure closer supervision of the Indians, the creation of individual farms on reserves to “strike at the heart of the tribal system,” and the establishment of more industrial schools.

		After all, mathematical formulas seem to perfectly govern the cosmos, and the ur-mathematician Pythagoras himself believed that mathematics makes up reality.
		Dewdney has taken it upon himself to examine this fundamental question, beginning his journey in Miletus, the ancient home of Pythagoras and other deep thinkers.
		The basic question of whether mathematics is discovered or created runs throughout the book as Dewdney travels around, meeting interesting characters who try to help him answer the question.

		The updates and sequels to Flatland began with Charles Howard Hinton’s An Episode of Flatland, published in 1907 less than 25 years after the work Hinton’s speculations about the fourth dimension had helped inspire.
		Dewdney notably regards the novel’s “metaphysical” and “spiritual” dimensions as of paramount importance.(A K. Dewdney, “Introduction,” Flatland, Signet Classics, 1984, p.
		There are hints among his many religious writings that he saw himself in an almost prophetic role as an exemplar of a new faith which had no dependence on ‘credulity.’” By “credulity,” Dewdney explains, Abbott meant an unscientific attitude that lent itself to irrationalism.(Dewdney, 11)
