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 it 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.
Tho Congressional Globe is made up Of the
daily proceedings ofthe two Houses of Congress.
The speeches of the members are abridged, or
condensed, 10 bring them into a 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
| typo-brevief 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, a 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 80 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 Game number cf
pages. Heretofore, on account of the set speech
| es being sonumerous and 50 long, we have not
completed the Appendix until one or two months
after the close of the session; but, in future,
intend to print the speeches as fast as they shall
be prepared, and of course shall complete the
work within Il few days after the adjournment.
Each of these works is complete in itself; but
it isnecessary for every subscriber who desires
full knowledge of the proceedings of Congress, to
have both; because, then, if there should be any
ambiguity in the synopsis of the speech, or any
denial of its correctness, as published in tho
Congressional Globe, the reader may turn 10 the
Appendix to see the speech at length, corrected
by the member himself
Now, there is no source but tho Congressional
Globe and Appendix, from which person can
obtain n 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 a session as the Congressional
Globe aud 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 Ap-
pendix at tho low rate now proposed, by having
u large quantity type, aud keeping the Con.
gressonal matter that we set up for the daily
and sem-weeky Globes, standing for the Con.
gresSional Globe and Appendix. If we had to
set up the matter pdrposely for these works, we
could not afford to print them for double the price
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 on hand 5000 or 1000 surplus copies
-r.l.. n i A
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 for the Appendix. We propose
to let subscribers for the Congressional Globe and
Appendix for the next session, have them for so
cents each. Thoy 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 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 |
full discussion usual in regard to subjects of or
dinary interest. The reports the Congression
al Globe and Appcnpx are not in the least de-
gree affected by the party bias of the Editor
They are given precisely as written out by the
Reporters and the members themselves And
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 smarks should oc.
sur.
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-wSekly,
and Weekly Globes. The Daily Globe is Ten
Dollars, the Semi-weekly Glube Five Dollars,
and the Weekly Globe Two Dollars per annum,
in adUdnce. The Weekly Globe is printed in the
same form as the Congressional Globe and APP
pendix, and complete index made to it at the
and Of each year.

he last Extra Session, one doHr. d
For the Congressional Globe for the next ses. a
lion, one dollar per copy. t
For the Appendix for the next session, one
loHar per copy,

md so on in promotion for greater number.
