PROSPECTUS ToR THE
CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE And APPENDIX.
These works have now been published BY
us for ten consecutive sessions Of Congress,
commencing with the session of 1852 3
They have had such wide circulation, and
have been so universally approved and sought
after BY the public, that we deem it neccssa-
ny only III this prospectus to say that they will
be continued at the next session Of Congress,
and to state. succinctly their contents, the
form in which they will be- printed, and the
prices for them.
The Congressional Globe is made upsof the
daily proceedings Of the two Houses Of Con-
gress The speeches of the members are a.
sbridged or condensed, to bring them into a
reasonable or readable length. All the reso-
buttons 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-breyier and non
2areil--on double royal sheet. in qnarto
form, each number containing II royal quar-
to pages It is printed as fast as the business
done in Congress furnishes matter enough for
i nlmb er-.lsually one number. but sometimes
two numbers, week. We have invariably
pr,nsed more numbers than there were weeks
IN a session. The approaching session of
Congress, it is expected. will continue seven
m ,nths # so. subscribers may expect between
so and 40 numbers, which, together, will
make between 500 and 500 royal quarto pa
ges.
The appendix is made up OF the PRESIDENTS
annual message, the reports of the principal
officers of the Government that accompany it,
and all the long speeches of members of Con-
gress, written out or revised by themselves.
IT is printed in the same form as the Congress
sional Globe, and usually makes about the
same plumber of pages. Heretofore, on ac>
count Of the SET speeches being SO numes GUS
aid 50 long, we have not completed the APP
pendix until one or two months of the close of
the session; butt future,we intend to!print the
speeches as fast as they shall be prepared. and
of course shall complete the work within a
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 the proceedings
of Congress to have both; because, then. if
there should be any ambiguity in the synopsis
of the speech, or any denial Gifts correctness,
As published in the Congressional Globe, the
reader may turn to the Appendix to see the
speech at length, corrected by the member
himself.
Now, there is no source but the Congress
sonal Globe and Appendix from which per-
son can obtain full history of the proceed
ings of Congress. GALES and SEATos's Reg
ister of Debates, which contained history,
has been suspended for three or four years

as the Congressional Globe and Appendix,

pose to let subscribers for the Congressional
Globe and Appendix for the next session have

sary to understand fully the proceedings Of
the next session. The important matters dis
cussed at the last, will be brought up at the.
next session, in consequence of the universal
evinced in the late elections
with the vast and novel system of policy which
the new powers have Introduced, and which
was forced through Congress without coHs,Ilts
ing public opinion, or even allowing the full
discussion usual in regard to subjects of ordi-
nary interest.
The reporters of the Congressional Globe
