He was appointed secretary to the Duke of Marlborough in 1756 and continued to serve the Marlborough family after the Duke's death in 1758 living for several years at Blenheim. He published a description of the Marlborough collection of antique gems in 1783. Bryant's name is chiefly associated with the present work the first two volumes of which first appeared in 1774.
