To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In fact, as at a double point the first polars all merely intersect, but at a cusp have all a contact with one another of the first degree, so we ought to expect that there should exist a species of multiple point such that all the first polars should have with each other a contact of the second degree (or if we like so to say, the same curvature) at that point. When the curve has a triple point, all its first polars will have that point upon them as a double point ; and it is not at the first ...glance, easy a priori to say what is the nature of the contact between two curves which intersect at a point which is a double point to each of them : we know upon settled analytical principles, that when one curve having a double point is crossed there by another curve not having a double point, that the two must be said to have with one another, a contact of the 1st degree ; and we now learn from our theory of evection, that if each have a double point at the meeting-point, the degree of the contact must from principles of analogy be considered to be of the 3rd degree*.
