National Biography

Sir Robert Moray (1608-1673), first President of the Royal Society, before the Charter, is better known as a states- man and soldier than as a man of science. His life is recorded in the Dictionary of National Biography , 1 and more fully in the posthumous work of Robertson (1922). 2 Moray was an interesting man, but I need say no more about him here. The present note deals only with the documentary evidence on which our knowledge of his life is founded. On page 203 of Robertson's book it is stated that ‘Moray’s career as a man of science and his personal characteristics are illustrated chiefly by (A) the archives of the Royal Society at Burlington House, and (B) the Kincardine MSS. (transcripts), which were in the possession of the late Mr. David Douglas, Edinburgh.’ The ‘Kincardine MSS. (transcripts)’ came into my hands—almost by accident—a few years ago, and it is about them that I now write. The original MSS., from which the transcripts were made, formerly belonged to Cosmo Innes (1798-1874), professor of constitutional law and history at Edinburgh University. How he came to possess them is now unknown; but it is recorded that he was Sheriff of Moray (1840-1852)—where his family once resided—and that he ‘ was an acute and learned student of ancient Scottish records ’ (D.N.B.), so he probably acquired them legitimately in the course of his antiquarian researches.

In California Dental Association v. FTC, 119 S. Ct. 1604 (1999), the U.S. Supreme Court reviewed a decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit that a nonprofit affiliation of dentists violated section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act (FTCA), 15 U.S.C.A. § 45 (1998), which prohibits unfair competition. The Court examined two issues: (1) the Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) jurisdiction over the California Dental Association (CDA); and (2) the proper scope of antitrust analysis. The Court unanimously held that CDA was subject to FTC's jurisdiction, but split 5-4 in its finding that the district court's use of abbreviated rule-of-reason analysis was inappropriate.CDA is a voluntary, nonprofit association of local dental societies. It boasts approximately 19,000 members, who constitute roughly threequarters of the dentists practicing in California. Although a nonprofit, CDA includes for-profit subsidiaries that financially benefit CDA members. CDA gives its members access to insurance and business financing, and lobbies and litigates on their behalf. Members also benefit from CDA marketing and public relations campaigns.
