Dewey was by vocation an educator. He developed laboratory teaching in physics and chemistry amd collections of plants and minerals for the Williams College museum. His studies of the sedges (Carices), published as "Caricography" in the American Journal of Science between 1824-66, was the product of his leisure hours. Asa Gray classed Dewey with John Torrey and Schweinitz in laying "the foundation and insured the popularity of the Sedges in this county." Dewey never drew together his work on sedges, although he did produce the treatment of sedges in Alphonso Wood's Class-Book of Botany (1845). In 1837 he was asked to prepare the herbaceous plants for the Massachusetts Zoological and Botanical Survey (1840). It is unclear whether Dewey's botanical intersts predated Amos Eaton's 1817 stay at Williams. DAB, BDAS
