John Sinclair was a Scottish politician known for his studies and treatises on finance. In 1784, he published ‘History of the Public Revenue of the British Empire’, a work that built his reputation as an economist.

The appendix of this work gives a clear description of the focus of this work:

“A catalogue of the works which have been printed in the English language, upon the subject of finance; together with a list of such foreign publications, as regard the revenue of this empire.”

In fact, the DNB notes that this work is the

“standard treatise, which was long one of the chief authorities on the subject.”
