WHAT I SAID in the first volume still holds true today: the writings of the philosophes are in a curious bibliographical limbo. The complete works of some philosophes are not available at all; the works of others, like Voltaire, are outdated and are now being superseded by critical editions of their major writings and their correspondence. In consequence, I have been compelled to cite from a variety of editions. I list the most important of these below, together with short titles wherever sensible, and with a few journals, frequently cited, the titles of which I have abbreviated as well.
