It is curious to note that of all his writings, which were many, the work that perpetuates his name is a students' handbook, Pye's Surgical Handicraft.
This present edition is the eleventh, the first having been published in 1884. No more need be said. Mr. Pye realized that the student and the resident demanded such a book to which he could turn in the thousand-and-one emergencies of daily work, and they still demand it. But one would like to see Mr. Pye's face if he could read his own book. He would not recognize it, for, in accordance with modern practice, it has been completely reconditioned.
The present edition has been revised and edited by Hamilton Bailey, with the assistance of twenty-eight collaborators, including twelve physicians and two members of the nursing profession. It deals with every practical problem with which the house surgeon may be concerned-from such a simple thing as tying up of a cut finger to the carrying out of such complicated procedures as a bronchography. The clear and well-chosen illustrations are very helpful to the understanding of the text.
