Molyneux
Molyneux (; Old French: ''De Molines'' or ''De Moulins'') is a French surname. The surname has been linked primarily to a large French family that settled in Lancashire, England. By the 14th century the Molyneux family had split into three main branches; the Lancashire line, who became the Earls of Sefton, the Nottingham line, and the Calais line, from those remaining in France. There was also a branch of the family who were Irish baronets. Etymology and history The ancestors of the Molyneaux family arrived in England in medieval times. The name "de Molines" or "de Moulins", Old French in origin, meaning "Mill", and eventually changed into "Molyneux". The early historical background of the family is sparse, coming from scattered genealogical, historical, and archaeological sources, composed of a mixture of legend, romanticized literary invention, and fact. Some historians deduce the ''de Moulins'' came from Moulineaux-sur-Seine, near Rouen, in Normandy. Other sources ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The baronetcy of Molyneux of Teversall was created in the baronetage of England on 29 June 1611 for John Molyneux, of a junior branch of the family. Their seat at Teversal, near Mansfield, Nottinghamshire came into the family via the 16th-century marriage of Francis Molyneux to the Teversall heiress, Elizabeth Greenhalgh, and later the Wellow estate, also in Nottinghamshire, devolved upon Sir William Molyneux, 6th Baronet, through his marriage to Anne Challand. This baronetcy became extinct on his only son's death in 1812, the unmarried 7th Baronet, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Now home only to farmland, it was a thriving port in the early years of New Zealand's European settlement.

Molyneux's Problem
Molyneux's problem is a thought experiment in philosophy concerning immediate recovery from blindness. It was first formulated by William Molyneux, and notably referred to in John Locke's '' An Essay Concerning Human Understanding'' (1689). The problem can be stated in brief, "if a man born blind can feel the differences between shapes such as spheres and cubes, could he, if given the ability to see, distinguish those objects by sight alone, in reference to the tactile schemata he already possessed?" Original correspondence The question was originally posed to Locke by philosopher William Molyneux, whose wife was blind: To which John Locke responds in '' An Essay Concerning Human Understanding'' (emphasis added):John Locke, '' An Essay Concerning Human Understanding'', book 2, chapter 9 Responses In 1709, in ''An Essay Towards a New Theory of Vision'', George Berkeley also concluded that there was no necessary connection between a tactile world and a sight world—that ...

Molyneux Globes
Emery Molyneux ( ; died June 1598) was an English Elizabethan maker of globes, mathematical instruments and ordnance. His terrestrial and celestial globes, first published in 1592, were the first to be made in England and the first to be made by an Englishman. Molyneux was known as a mathematician and maker of mathematical instruments such as compasses and hourglasses. He became acquainted with many prominent men of the day, including the writer Richard Hakluyt and the mathematicians Robert Hues and Edward Wright. He also knew the explorers Thomas Cavendish, Francis Drake, Walter Raleigh and John Davis.

When completed, the globes were presented to Elizabeth I. Larger globes were acquired by royalty, noblemen and academic institutions, while smaller ones were purchased as practical navigation aids for sailors and students. Th ...
