P R o S P E c T U S
FOR THE
Congressional Globe and APP
pendiX.


for ten consecutive sessions Of Congress, COM
mencing with the session of 1928. They have
had such wide circulation, aud 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 contents, the form in which they
will be printed, and the prices for them.
The 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
type-brevief and nonpareil-on a 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 Enthusiastically one number, but
sometimes two numbers, week. We have in
variably printed more numbers than there were
weeks in u session. The approaching session of
Congress, tits expected, will continue months;
II 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
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 Of
pages Heretofore, on account of the set speech
es being so numerous aud 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 n few days nfsr the adjournment.
Each of these works is complete in itself; but
II is necessary for every subscriber who desires n
full knowledge of tho proceedings of Congress, to
have bothi 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 10 the
Appendix to see 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 Com
gress. Gales and Senton's Register of Debates,
which contained 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
|uALoiAt PtoSSSuluBs uClli5 OllltIeus W @ are en-
ablod toprint the Congressional Globe and An
pendiX at tho low rate now proposed, by having
a large quantity oftype, aud keeping tho Con.
gres3ional matter that we set up for the dailv
and semi-weokly Globes, standing for tho Con-
gressional Globe and Appendix. If we had TO
set mp the matter pIrposeIy 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
OF the Congressional Globe and Appendix for tho
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;
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. They will be necessary to under
stand fully the proceedings fthe next session.
The important matters discussed at the last,will
DO 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
public opinion, or even allowing the
ull discussion usual in regard to subjects of or
linary interest. The reports of the Congression-
Il Globe and Apponpix are not in the least de-
rec affected by the party bias of the Edto..-
hey are given precisely as written out by the |
reporters and the members themselves, And
ho whole are subject TO the revision and correc-
ion of the speakers, as they pass in review in |
n nj in i.
r Misrepresentation of their remarks should oc-

We make daily analysis of the doipgs in
ongress, and give our opinions in it freely, but

ollars, the Sem-weekly Globe Five Dollars,
I'd the Weekly Globe Two Dollars per annum,

'ndix, and complete index made to it at the
