Abstract
IT is instructive at this stage to go behind the various relations given by Darboux and Routh, connecting A, B, C, D, and δ, and the accented letters, and to examine their inner geometrical significance; various interesting theorems of Geometrical Conic Sections will be required, which will show the practical utility of the study of this elegant subject, as presented in Taylor's “Geometry of Conies.”
