The second edition (1990) is significantly larger than the first (1952). It dropped Apollonius's Conics, Fielding's Tom Jones, Sterne's Tristram Shandy and J.B. Fourier's Analytical Theory of Heat, but it added the works by Calvin, Erasmus, Moliere, Racine, Voltaire, Diderot, Austen, Balzac, Dickens, Tocqueville, Kierkegaard, George Eliot, Twain, Ibsen and Nietzsche, plus the six volumes of twentieth-century authors.
