If my poor Flatland friend retained the vigour of mind which he enjoyed when he began to compose these Memoirs, I should not now need to represent him in this preface, in which he desires, firstly, to return his thanks to his readers and critics in Spaceland, whose appreciation has, with unexpected celerity, required a second edition of his work; secondly, to apologize forcertain errors and misprints (for which, however, he is not entirely responsible); and, thirdly, to explain one or two misconceptions.

评分有个低等的等腰三角形,脑袋还不到四度,不仅偶尔涂成某个商人的颜色,然后抢劫他的商店,而且把自己涂成,或者让人把他涂成(因为这个故事说法不一)十二边形的12种颜色。他来到一个集市上,佯装他人的声音勾引了一位少女。这位少女是位出身于高贵的多边形家庭的孤儿,在这之...
