P r o S P E G T U S
FOR THE
Congressional Globe and APP
pendiX.

These works have now been published by us
| for ten consecutive sessions of Congress, COM
mencing with the session of 1928. They have
had such wide circulation, and have been so
universally approved and sought after by the
public, that we deem il necessary only in this
prospectus to say that they will be continued at
| the next session of Congress, and to state, sue
cinctly, their conterts, the form in which they
will be printed, and the prices for them.
The Congressional Globe is made up of the
daily proceedings the two Houses of Congress.
The speeches of the members are abridged, or
condensed, 10 bring them into reasonable, or
readable length. All the resolutions offered, or
motions made, are given at length, in the movers
own words; and the yeas and nays on all the
important questions. 1t is printed with small
| type-breviof and nonpareil-on double royal
sheet, in quarto form, each number containing
! l6 royal quarto pages. 1t is printed as fast as
the business done in Congress furnishes matter
enough for number--usually one number, but
sometimes two numbers, n week. We have in-
variably printed more numbers than there were
weeks in a session. The approaching session OF
Congress, it is expected, will continue months;
if SO, subscribers may expect between 30 and 40
numbors, which, together, will make between
500 and GOO royal quarto pages.
The Appendix is made up of the Presidents
annual message, the reports of the principal ofi-
| GERS of the Government that accompany it, and
all the long speeches of members of Congress-
written out or revised by themselves. 1t is print
cd in the same form as the Congressional Globe,
and usually makes about the same number Cf
pages. Heretofore, on account of the set speech
es being sonumerous and SO long, we have not
completed the Appendix until one or two months
after the close of the session; but, in future, we
intend TO print the speeches as fast as they shall
be prepared, and Of course shall complete the
work within few days after the adjournment.
Each Of these works is complete in itself; but
it Unnecessary for every subscriber who desires
full knowledge of tho proceedings of Congress, to
have both; because, then, ifthere should be any
ambiguity in the synopsis of the speech, or any
denial of its correctness, as published in the
Congressional Globe, the reader may turn TO the
Appendix to sec the speech at length, corrected
by the member himself
Now, there is no source but The Congressional
Globe and Appendix, from which a person can
obtain full history of the proceedings of Con-
gress Gales and Seaton's Register of Debates,
which contained history, has been discontinue
ed for three or four years. Il cost about five
times as much for a session as the Congressional
Globe and Appendix, and did not contain an
equal amount of matter, great portion of the
current proceedings being omitted. We are en-
abled to print the Congressional Globe and An
Ipendix at the low rate now proposed, by having
a large quantity of type, aud keeping the Con.
grossiona matter that we set up for the daily
and semi-weekly Globes, standing for the Con :
Igressional Globe and Appendix. If we had 10
set mp the matter pdrposely for these works, we
could not afford to print them for double the price
now charged.
Complete indexes to both tho Congressional
Globe and the Appendix are printed at the close
of each session, and sent TO all subscribers for
them.
We have on hand 5000 or 1000 surplus copies
ofthe Congressional Globe and Appendix for the
extra session, which make together near one
thousand royal quarto pages. They give the full
lest history of Congress that has ever been pub
lished. We now sell them for one dollar each !;
that is, one dollar for the Congressional Globe,
and one dollar foe the Appendix. We propose
to let subscribers for the Congressional Globe and
| Appendix for the next session, have them for so
cents each. They will be necessary TO under
stand fully the proceedings of the next session. -
! The important matters discussed at the last,will
be brought up at the neat session, in consequence
ofthe universal dissatisfaction evinced ia the
late elections with the vast and novel system of
policy which the new powers have introduced,
and which was forced thro' Congress without
consulting public opinion, or even allowing the
full discussion usual in regard to subjects of Or
dinary interest. The reports fthe Congrossion-
al Globe and Apponpix are not in the least de-
gree affected by tho party bias of the Edito,.-
| They are given precisely as written out by the
Reporters and the members themselves And
the whole are subject 10 the revision and correct
tion of the speakers, as they pass in review in
our daily sheet, in case any Misunderstanding
or Misrepresentation of their remarks should oc-
cur.
We make daily analysis of tho doings in
Congress, and give our opinions in it freely, but
this is published only in the Daily, Semi-weekly,
and Weekly Globes. The Daily Globe is Ten
Dollars, the Semi-weeky Globe Five Dollars.
and the Weekly Globe Two Dollars per annum,
in GdUaaee. The Weekly Globe is printed in the
same form as the Congressional Globe and Ap- |
pendix, and complete index made to it at the !
end of each year.
