BRYSON ( James ). Sermons on several important subjects. Belfast : Printed by Henry and Robert Joy, 1778FIRST EDITION, pages xvi, (2), 478, with 8-page subscriber list, 8vo, contemporary calf, neatly rebacked and repaired : some light signs of use but a very good copy : as in the BL copy, the unnumbered leaf of contents list is bound following page viii of prelims..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. That he was a famed minister in his day would appear from various reports. 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." It took something more than average ministerial powers to break down the prejudice which existed in those days and permit a non-juring minister preach in an Established Church.ENGLISH PRE 1801; BELFAST PRINTED; RELIGION; THEOLOGY; SERMONS; ; ; ; ; ; ;
