Sir John Sinclair sent Jefferson a copy of his statistical queries at the same time as his pamphlet on British Wool. In the
letter of December 25, 1790 quoted in no. 663 he wrote: “. . . He also begs to inclose a Circular Letter to the Clergy of Scotland, and his Statistical queries, which are likely to
furnish materials for a very curious account of that part of Great Britain . . .”
Sir John Sinclair was one of the earliest statisticians and was the first to introduce the word
