These volumes appear to have been kept chronologically, with a fair number of memorial verses prompted by Byron's death cropping up at the beginning of the second volume for 1824 (such as "A Thought Suggested by the Death of Lord Byron", "Stanzas on the Death of Lord Byron", "On the Death of Lord Byron"); while a reference, also in the second, to "Reginald the present Bishop of Calcutta" (i.e. Reginald Heber, appointed 1823, died 1826) confirms that they were, indeed, written in the early 1820s, as stated.
