John Rushworth was a 17th-century English historian who is best remembered for his work covering the English Civil War. Colloquially known as the 'Rushworth Papers', 'Historical Collections' is one of the best accounts of the reigns of Kings Charles I and James I of England.

This particular set of folios contains reports on the proceedings in Parliament from 1618 through 1649. It is especially notable, not only being a first edition, but it contains the highly coveted folding map of England – a map printed over an illustration of the Battle of Prague.

He played a major part in the development of the Welsh slate industry. He inherited the estate of Penrhyn Castle through marriage to the daughter of George Hay Dawkins-Pennant (1764–1840). The Pennant estate had acquired wealth through the exploitation of Jamaican plantations and slaves, with both George Hay Dawkins-Pennant and his cousin Richard Pennant, first Baron of Penrhyn (1737-1808) being staunchly opposed to abolition.
