Extract

The equation of the curve of order 14, on which lie the points of contact of the 28 bitangents of a quartic curve, was first given by Hesse (Crelle’s Journal, Vols. 36, 40, 41). A very concise form of the equation in the Clebsch-Aronhold symbols was obtained by Dersch (Math. Ann., Bd. 7). The method adopted in his Memoir was practically that given by Salmon (Phil. Mag., Oct. 1858), and followed by Cayley (Phil. Trans., 1859).
