FOE THE
Congressional Globe and APP
.. pendiX,


These works have now been published by US
for ten consecutive sessions Of Congrosj, COM
with the session of 1928. They have
had such wide circulation, and have been so
approved and sought after by the
public, that wa deem il necessary only in this
prospectus to say that they will be continued at
eha next session Of Congress- and to state, sue
cinctly, their conterts, tho form in which they
will be printed, md the prices for them.
The Congressional Globe is made up Of tho
daily proceedings ofthe two Houses Of Congress.
The speeches OF the members are abridged, or
condensed, TO bring them into n reasonable, or
readable length. All the resolutions offered, or
motions made, are given at iength,i in tho movers
own words; and tbs yeas and nays on all the
important questions. 1t is printed with small
type--brevief and nOnparel--on a double royal
sheet, in quarto form, each number containing
lG royal gUarto pages Il is printed as fast rs
the business done in Congress furnishes matter
enough for a nJmber-usually one number, but
sometimes two numbers, n week, We have in-
yarably printed more numbers than there were
weeks in q session. The approaching session OF
Congress, it'1 expected, will continue month3i
if SO, subscribers may expect between 80 and 40
numbers, which, together, will make between
500 and 600 royal quarto pages.
Tho Appendix is made up Of the Presidents
annual message, the reports of the principal Off
cOrs Of the Government that accompany it, and
all the long speeches of members of Congress,
written out or revised by themselves. 1t is print
ed in the same form as the Congressional Globe,
| and usually makes about the same number Of
pages. Here lotore on account of the SET speech
es being so numerous and 30 long, we have not
completed the Appendix until one or two months
after The close of tbs session; but, in future, we
intend to print the speeches as fast as they shall
bo prepared, and of course shall complete the
work within n few days after tho adjournment.
Each of these works is complete in ltgalf; but
it Unnecessary for every subscriber who desires a
full knowledge of the proceedings Of Congress, to
have both; because, then, If there should be any
ambiguity in the synopsis Of tho speech, or any
denial of its correctness, as published in tho
Congressional Globe, the reader may turn 10 fIe
Appendix to see the speech at length, corrected
by the member himself
Now, there is no source but tina Congressional
Globe and Appendix, from which person can
obtain n full history Of tho proceedings of Com
gress. Gales and Seaton's Register of Debates,
which contained a history, has been discontinue
ed for three or four years, Il cost about five
times as much for n session as the Congressional
Globe and Appondiz, and did nct contain an
equal amount Of mattSr, a great portion of the
current proceedings being omitted. We are on-
abed 10 print thu Congressional Globe and Ap-
pendiX at tho lew rate now proposed, by having
a large quantity oftypc, and keeping tho Con,
grS55ionll matter that we set up for the daily
and semi-weskly Globes, standing for ths Con-
gressioual Globe and Appendix. If We had to
set up the matter pdipjsoly for thS31 works, we
could not nif)rI tJprnL thsm for double the pIco
now charged.
Complete Indexes 70 both the Congressional
Globe and the Appendix are printed at the close
Of zach session, and sont TO all aubscribefs for
them.
Wehayc on hand 5000 or 1900 surplus copies
Oft tho Congressional Globe and Appendix for tho
extra session, which make together near ono
thousand royal quarto pages. They give the full
lesthistory of tCongroso that has ever been pub
lished! We now sell them for ono dollar each ;
that is, ons dollar for tho Congressional Globe,
and one dollar for tho Appendix. We propose
to let Subscribers for the Congressional Globe and
Appendix for the next session, have them for 50
cents each, They will be necessary to under
stand fully the proceedings of the next session.
The important matters discussed at the ast,will
bo brought upat The next session, in consequence
of the universal dissatisfaction eyinced in the
policywhich the new powers hav1 introduced,
and which was forced thro' Congress without
consulting public opinion, or even allowing the
full discussion usual ia regard to subjects of Or
dinary interest, The reports ofthe Congressio on
al Giobs and AppOnpix are'not in the least de-
gree affected by the party, bias OF the Edito, -
They are given precisely as written out by tho
Reporters and the members themselves. And
the whole are subject to tho revision and corrsc-
tiOn of the speakers, as they pass in review in
our daily sheet, ia case any misunderstanding
or Misrepresentation of their remarks should oc-
cur.
We, make daily analysis Of the .doings in
Congress, and give our opinions in it freely, but
this is published only in the Daily, Semi-wOekly,
and Weekly Globes The Daily Globe is Ten
Dollars, the Semi-wsekly Globe Five Dollars,
and the Weekly Globa Two Dollars per annum,
in advance. The Weekly Globe is printed in the
same form as the COugre aslanaI Globe and Ap-
pendix, and complete index made to it at the
end Of each year.
