Narcissus Luttrell (1657 1732) was a civil servant and book
collector, best remembered for the detailed record he kept of the
political and diplomatic events of the late seventeenth century.
After attending St Johns College, Cambridge, Luttrell was called to
the Bar in 1680. He served as Justice of the Peace for Middlesex
between 1693 and 1723 and was twice elected to the House of
Commons. These volumes, first published in 1857, contain Luttrell's
detailed diary. Arranged by month, this work provides a rich and
valuable account of events between 1678 and 1714, including the
political turmoil that led to the flight of James II and the
accession of William and Mary. Volume 2 covers the years 1689 92,
describing in detail the war preparations of William III against
James II in Ireland, and the wider battles occurring in the
Netherlands as part of the Nine Years' War.
