Jonathan Osborne (1794 - 22 Jan 1864) was an eminent Irish physician and surgeon.[1]
Life
Osborne was born in County Dublin, Ireland, the son of William Osborne of Cullenswood House. He entered Trinity College, Dublin, in 1810 and graduated BA in 1815 and MD in 1818. He started practice in Dublin.
In 1823 he was elected Fellow of the College of Physicians and in 1825 lecturer of Materia Medica in Park St. Medical School. Shortly afterwards he was appointed physician to Sir Patrick Dun's Hospital and Mercer's Hospital.[2] In Dublin he is remembered for the instruments he devised and for his studies on nervous diseases.
With his wife Catherine he had a son, Verney, and daughter Florence (who married Rev. William H. Rambaut), both of whom died as young adults and are interred with him in St. Michan's Church, Dublin.[3]
