I'll do better and list the symphonies the compilers thought worthy of the
canon.  This book was published in 1942, and it seems a faithful record of
its time.  You might find some of the inclusions surprising and some of the
omissions a bit shocking.  My memory played tricks on me, as usual, in my
earlier post.  I am now typing directly from the table of contents.
