Excerpt from The Scientific Papers of John Couch Adams, Vol. 1
The present volume of the Collected Works of the late Professor John Couch Adams contains all the original papers which were published by him during his lifetime, extending from 1844 (when he was 25 years of age) to 1890. They consist of about 50 Astronomical Papers which were for the most part printed in the Memoirs or Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society and 11 Papers on Pure Mathematics. Besides these there are many papers on various branches of Astronomy which were left in an incomplete state among Professor Adams' manuscripts. These are being prepared for publication by Professor Sampson.
There is also a great quantity of unpublished work in an incomplete state on Legendre's and Laplace's Coefficients and on Terrestrial Magnetism which was taken up from time to time extending over a period of 40 years, but no part of which has been published except a short paper (No. 60) on Legendre's Coefficients. It is hoped that a considerable portion of this unpublished work may shortly be brought into shape for publication, and that it will form the continuation of these Collected Works.
Since the Appendix to Paper 19 (p. 124 of this volume) was printed, more exact expressions of the coefficients for Jupiter's Satellites II, III and IV have been found among Professor Adams unpublished papers.
