FOR THE
Congressional Globe and APP
,pendiX.

tpendiX.
These works have now been publ lshed by us
for ten consecutive sessions Of Congress, COM
mencng 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 |
daiIy proceedings the two Houses of Congress
The speeches of the members are abridged, or
condensed, TO bring them into reasonable, or
readable length. All tile 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-brevief and nonpareil-on a double royal
sheet, in quarto form, each number containing
| 16 royal quarto pages 1t is printed as fast as
the business done in Congress furnishes matter
enough for number-usually one numb ~
sometimes two numbers, week. We have
variably printed more numbers than there were
weeks in q session. The approaching session OF
Congress, it is expected, will continue months;
if so, subscribers may expect between 30 and 40
numbers, which, together, will make between
500 and 600 royal quarto pages.
The Appendix is made up of the Presidents
annual message, the reports Of the principal Off
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
ed 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 q few days after the adjournment.
Each of these works is complete in itself; but
it is necessary for every subscriber who desires
full knowledge of tho proceedings of Congress, 10
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 the
Congressional Globe, the reader may turn 10 tie
Appendix to see the speech at length, corrected
, by the membor himself.
Now, there is no source but the Congressional
a Globe and Appendix, from which person can
! obtain full history of the proceedings of Con-
, gress. Gales and Seaton's Register of Debates,
which contained a history, has been discontinue
. ed for three or four years. II cost about five
times as much for session as the Congressional
+ Globe and Appendix, and did not contain all
equal amount of matter, great portion of the
. current proceedings being omitted. We are en-
abled 10 print the Congressional Globe and Ap-
a large quantity of type, aud keeping the Com
gressional matter that VIC set up for the daily
and semi-wcekly Globes, standing for the Con E
n gressonal Globe and Appendix. If we had 10
= set up the matter pLrposely for these works, we
G could not afford to print them for double the price
9 now charged.
= Complete indexes to both the Congressional
+ Globe and the Appendix are printed at the close
: of each session, and sent to all subscribers for
them.
We have OH hand 1900 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
lshed We now sell them for one dollar each ;
l. that is, QUE dollar for the Congressional Globe,
n and one dollar for 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 Iast,will
be brought up at the next session, in consequence
ofthe universal dissatisfaction evinced in 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
e full discussion usual in regard to subjects of or
r dinary interest. The reports of the Congression-
al Globe and Apponpix are not in the least de-
: gree affected by the party bias the Editor
d They are given precisely as written out by the
. Reporters and the members themselves. And
4 the whole are subject 10 the revision and correc-
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 a daily analysis of the doings in
Congress, and give our opinions in it freely, but
tka ie nIthliahcd nnv in tho Ia
Q and Weekly Globes. The Daily Globe is Ten
! Dollars, the Semi-weokly Glube Five Dollars,
and the Weekly Globe Two Dollars per annum,
$ in GdUGnce. The Weekly Globe is printed in the
4 same form as the Congressional Globe and APP
. pendix, and a complete index made TO il at the
end of each year.
