In the years 1794–1795 - the king had meanwhile been executed - four more volumes were published. A total of eighteen volumes of the book series were published.

The series includes Epictetus , Confucius , various Chinese authors , Isocrates , Seneca , Cicero , Theophrast , Menander , Socrates (after Xenophon ), Theognis , Phokylides , Pythagoras , Greek sage, Jesus Christ and apostles , Apophthegma of the Lacedaemonians (from Plutarch), Plutarch , Life and Apophthegma of the Greek Philosophers .

Contributing translators were Jacques-André Naigeon (1738–1810), Pierre-Charles Levesque (1736–1812) and Athanase Auger (1734–1792).
