What are some must-haves in Oxford University Press World Classics series?

They seem good and I want to get some more. For now, I have British philosophy books like Hume, Bacon, Berkeley, Locke, Hobbes from the series.
What else do you recommend?

If you're into Brit political philosophy you need to get On Liberty. No deep existential content, but it's a massive representative precursor of the mainsteam West now, whatever you make of that. Freedom of Speech, utilitarian principles leading to non-utilitarian policy, Reithian ideals too.

Gulliver's Travels is the best novel.
