ESTC locates copies at four libraries. Of the five titles by Bryson ESTC
records, 3, 4, 2, 4, and, 1 copies, respectively, are located. Bryson (1730-
96), presbyterian minister. According to the Ulster Journal of
Archaeology, “ Several volumes of Bryson’s manuscripts are in the
Assembly’s College. “ The preservation of his sermons points to his
ability as a preacher. That he was popular with the Masonic Order is
apparent for “he was a freemason and seems not infrequently to have
preached Masonic sermons in Parish Churches. For instance, in June,
1795, he preached at Ballylesson Church before some twenty lodges. “
