The authors consider the first order asymptotics, as \(n\to \infty\), of the extreme eigenvalues of the \(n\times n\) Hermitian Toeplitz matrices whose first rows have the form \([a_0,a_1,\dots ,a_{n-1}]\) where, for some \(\alpha >0\), \(a_k=k^{\alpha}+o(k^{\alpha})\) as \(k\to \infty\). Following an approach introduced by \textit{H. S.\ Widom} [Trans.\ Am.\ Math.\ Soc., 88, 491--522 (1958; Zbl 0101.09202)], they relate the eigenvalues of these matrices to those of an integral operator with kernel \(K(x,y)=|x-y|^{\alpha}\). More details are given for some special cases. In one of these cases, their results provide an alternative proof of a result of W. F.\ Trench.
