A famous chain of theorems, due originally to de Longchamps (l) and afterwards rediscovered by Pesci(2), Morley(3) and Grace(4), goes as follows:(1) Given four lines in a plane, the four circumcentres O3 of the triangles formed by omitting each one of the lines in turn lie all on the same circle C4 with centre O4 say.(2)Given five lines in a plane, the centres O4 of the five circles C4 obtained by omitting each of the five lines in turn lie all on the same circle C6 with centre O5 say.And in general(3) Given (n+1) lines in a plane, the (n+1) centres On of the circles Cn+1 formed by omitting each of the lines in turn lie all on the same circle Cn+1 with centre On+1.

The theorem that a line cutting a pair of conies in four harmonically separated points envelopes a conic, called the Φ conic, is a familiar result which admits of a simple proof by analytical methods. A synthetic proof, however, if we exclude the use of (2, 2) correspondences, is rather elusive. I have not been able to find such a proof in any book, and the only one published as far as I am aware is that set as a question in the 1934 Mathematical Tripos, due to Mr F. P. White. The proof written out below is rather more direct and may therefore be worth recording.
