The object of the present paper is to establish the equivalence of the well-known theorem of the double-six of lines in projective space of three dimensions and a certain theorem in Euclidean plane geometry. The latter theorem is of considerable interest in itself for two reasons. In the first place, it is a natural extension of Euler's classical theorem connecting the radii of the circumscribed and the inscribed (or the escribed) circles of a triangle with the distance between their centres. Secondly, it gives in a geometrical form the invariant relation between the circle circumscribed to a triangle and a conic inscribed in the triangle. For a statement of the theorem, see § 13 (4).
