 This 1906 short story collection by O. Henry presents some of his most famous stories like "The Gift of the Magi" and "The Cop and the Anthem". The title refers to the population of New York city at that time and was a witty response to a newspaper editorial stating New York only held 400 people worth knowing. These short stories strongly communicate the fragile nature of human relations and are combined with O. Henry’s legendary moral lessons. 

 Alexander Pope wrote the "Pastorals" in 1704 at the age of 16, but it was only in 1709 that the publisher Jacob Tonson included them in his Poetical Miscellanies.

In the "Pastorals", Pope develops a theory of the relationship between art and nature.
