PROSPECTUS
FOR THE

CoNoR EssIoHAL GLOBE AND APPENDIX.
YUHESE works will be published by US during
the approaching session Of Congress. They
have had such wide circulation in the United
States. and their usefulness and cheapness are
so universally acknowledged, that we deem It
unnecessary to give a detailed account ot
what ,hs future numbers will contain. Suihce
il to say that they will be invaluable to all who
leel an interest in the proceedings OF Congress.
No other publiration gives them 80 full, nor hall
an cheap, Ii IL, indeed, the cheapest publication
in the United States erhaps in the world.
Ilur position Mt the seat of Government enables
Us to print them at SO low a rate. We are COM
pelled TO publish the proceedings Of Congress IN
detail, for our daily paper This done, re
uuires, comparatively, but small additions ex-
pense to change them to the forms OF the Con-
gressional Globe and Appendix. lfn were not
for these circumstances, we could not puollsn
them for four times the sum charged. In some
narts Of the United States, the white paper, up-
on which these works are printed, would sell iOr
as much as we charge for the publications.
The Congressional Globe is made up OF the
daily proceedings If the two Houses Of Congress-
and the speeches Of the members condenseh'
The yeas and nays on allimportant subjects are
given 1t is published as fast as the business Of
the two Houses afford matter enough for NUM-
her. Each number will contain six royal quarto
poaes. of small type. We expect to publish
three numbers for every two weeks OF the session.
The Appendix contains lhe speeches Of the
members at full length, written out ny themselves,
and is printed in the same foTl as the Congress
sional Globe. 1t is published as fast as the
spe eehes can be prepared by the members.

IL is desirable for every subscriber to have both
