CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE.


From the experiment we have made, It is
ascertained that the patronage Of the coun.
try, will support our annual publication OF
the proceedings, and speeches made in Con-
gress. We therefore propose to prosecute
the design, and confidently hope to improve
and perfect it.
In giving, from week to week, succinct
and clear report Of the proceedings OF both
branches of the Congress- brief and con.
densed report of the substance of the re-
marks Of each speaker, using the precise
words upon the main points touched-the
yeas and nays on oil important questions,
and concluding the volume, after the adj
journment, with an index for reference; a
great deal was done towards giving an ac-
curate parliamentary history OF the pro-
ceedings Of one of the greatest and ablest
representative assemblies in the world an
assembly, on the deliberations of which, tho
destinies of the free institutions Of this
country depend for their maintenance and
therefore, in some degree, freedom through.
out the world. Our original plan extend
cd no further than this epitome of the de.
bates with the proceedings but at the last
session, we added an appendix, to contain
all the fully reported speeches, as prepared
by the speakers themselves for publication.
This extended the work from a single volume
OF 342 royal quarto pages, to two volumes,
making, together, 1884 royal quarto pages.
These we have furnished to subscribers at
the price Of one dollar for each volume, BOTH
OR EITHER to be furnished, through the mail,
as they fall from the press, In sheets, and
chargeable only with newspaper hostages,
VARYING from q cent to cent and a half a
sheet.
This we hold to be the cheapest work
ever published, whether the labor and ex-
penses of getting it up be considered, or the
value of it to the present or future genera.
tions. The leading men of all parties in
every state of the Union concentrate in the
speeches of each session Of Congress, the
mind, Information, and the feelings of every
portion of our country. The political his.
tory Of the country, for the time being, is
not only spoken and written out in Con.
gress, at each session, but the designs of
every party, or fragments of party are
developed, and the future tendency of the
government itself laid open. Thus, inde-
pendently, Of the interests which every man
must feel in the real business transacted in
congress, all who would understand any
thing of the political career of government,
should be provided with the embodied views
of the leading statesmen of all parties, on
every subject that engages the attention of
congress, and which is rendered to them in
this prospectus.
