This article appears in Volume V19, Page 42 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MOS-NAN
MURRAY (or MORAY), SIR ROBERT (c. 1600-1673) , one of the founders of the Royal Society, was the son of Sir Robert Murray of Craigie, Ayrshire, and was born about the beginning of the 17th century. In early
life
  he served in the French army, and, winning the favour of
Richelieu
 , rose to the rank of colonel.
On the outbreak of the Civil War he returned to
Scotland
  and collected recruits for the royal cause. The
triumph
  of Cromwell compelled him for a time to return to France, but he took
part
  in the Scottish insurrection in favour of Charles II. in 1650, and was named lord
justice
  clerk and a privy councillor. These appointments, which on account of the overthrow of the royal cause proved to be at the time only nominal, were confirmed at the Restoration in ,66o.. Soon after this Sir Robert Murray began to take a prominent
part
  in the deliberations of a club instituted in London for the discussion of natural science, or, as it was then called, the " new philosophy." W den it was proposed to obtain a charter for the society he undertook to
interest
  the king in the matter, the result being that on the 15th of July 1662 the club was incorporated by charter under the designation of the Royal Society. Murray was its first president. He died in June 1673.
