JOSEPH TOYNBEE (1815-1866) The diseases of the ear; their nature, diagnosis, and treatment. Blanchard and Lea 1860 xvi, 440, 32 pp., 100 illus. 23.3 cm.

Toynbee's name is firmly fixed in the history of otology, for he was an otologic anatomist of great renown in his own day, and was a practicing aural surgeon in London for many years. He died while trying out an experimental treatment for tinnitus on himself. This work was also published at London in 1860. In it, Toynbee discusses methods of examination, clinical symptoms of ear diseases, their diagnosis, surgical and non-surgical treatment, and pathological changes to bones of the ear.
