The Four Million, a collection of twenty-five short stories by O. Henry appeared in 1906 to largely laudatory reviews in the Atlantic Monthly, the Critic, the New York Times, and the Independent, among other publications. It contains three of O. Henry's most famous stories, "The Gift of the Magi," "The Cop and the Anthem," and "The Furnished Room." The Canadian humorist Stephen Leacock concluded that O.
