On Liberty is a classic defense of the individual over the tyranny of the majority. It appears that On Liberty advocates a little too much liberty and not enough conformity for some.

"too much liberty and not enough conformity for some" Yep. Which is precisely why it doesn't belong on the list.

Right, it's important to remember that these are "conservatives" and not "libertarians." On the whole, though, I agree with the list. I might make a couple of adjustments in terms of rankings ... Democracy in Education could be moved up a slot or two.
