If one needs to use tools from classical invariant theory or elimination theory then some books that come to mind are:
Grace and Young "The Algebra of Invariants", 1903.
Salmon "Lessons Introductory to The Modern Higher Algebra", 1876.
Faa di Bruno "Théorie Des Formes Binaires", 1876.
Faa di Bruno "Théorie Générale de l'Elimination", 1859.
and there are quite a few more.
