Evidence:
Sunday, 20 November 1825 (first entry): 'I have all my life regretted that I did not keep a regular [journal] [...] I have bethought me on seeing lately some volumes of Byron's notes that he probably had hit upon the right way of keeping such a memorandum-book by throwing aside all pretence to regularity and order and marking down events just as they occurred to recollection. I will try this plan'.
