The study of systems of conies and other algebraic curves was initiated in the middle of the nineteenth century by Cayley, Hesse, Cremona, and others. Most of the investigations from that time to the present have been concerned with extensions to algebraic varieties and systems of higher orders or dimensions, or with associated algebraic curves such as Jacobians and Hessians.
