*A collection, virtually complete, of Adams's papers regarding the discovery of Neptune was presented by Mrs Adams to the library of St John's College, see: Sampson (1904), and also:
**"The collected papers of Prof. Adams", ''Journal of the British Astronomical Association'', '''7''' (1896–97)

**''[[Edinburgh Review]]'', No. 381, p.&nbsp;72.
*The papers were ultimately lodged with the Royal Greenwich Observatory and evacuated to [[Herstmonceux Castle]] during World War II. After the war, they were stolen by [[Olin J.
