Luttrell was twice member of parliament for different Cornwall seats (1679-1680 and 1691-1695), during which time he kept an important parliamentary diary, while his chronicle of contemporary events was used by Macaulay for his History of England and in 1857 published as A Brief Historical Relation of State Affairs from September 1678 to April 1714. He also formed one of the most impressive private libraries of his time, which was especially strong in poetry and Elizabethan literature; usefully for book historians he often annotated his books with the price he had paid for them. After his death the library was eventually sold by Leigh and Sotheby in a twelve-day sale commencing on 6 March 1786, while his manuscripts were bequeathed to All Souls, Oxford. Many of his books were acquired by the great collectors James Bindley and Richard Heber, who subsequently loaned a number of them to Sir Walter Scott for his edition of Dryden, which appeared in 1808, Scott remarking in his preface that 'the industrious collector seems to have bought every poetical tract, of whatever merit, which was hawked through the streets in his time, marking carefully the price and date of the purchase. His collection contains the earliest editions of many of our most excellent poems, bound up, according to the order of time, with the lowest trash of Grub Street'.
