Sir
Mr Keble’s biography or even the title page of the Lyra Innocentium you would have seen that the whole of the poems is by him with one single exception, which is acknowledged.

The Child’s Christian Year is a compilation of many different poems by numerous authors

yours truly
C M Yonge

1William Garrett Horder was the compiler of a large number of hymnals from the late 1870s onwards, so that it is hard to identify the particular book referred to in these three letters. It could however be The Book of Praise for Children (1878).
