PROSPECTUS
ron THE
Congressional Globe 4 Appendix,


have been universally approved and sought after
by the public. that we deem it necessary only in
this prospectus to say tina, they will be continued a.
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 of the two Houses of Congress.
The speeches ofihc members are abridged or con-
densed, to bring them into a reasonable or read
able length. All the resolutions offered or notions
made, are given at length, in the movers own
words and the yeas and nays on all the impor-
tant questions. 1t is printed with small type
BREWER and nonpareil--on adoublc-royai sheet, in
quarto from, each number containing l6 royal
quarto pages. 1t is printed as fast as the business
done in Congress furnishes matter enough for q
number. The first four weeks of session usu.
ally furnish matter enough for one number
week and the balance of the session enough for
two ar three numbers a week. The coming
session Of Congress will furnish matter enough,
we suppose, for twenty-five or thirty numbers.
The Appendix Is made up of the PREsinENr's
annual message, the reports of the principal of
hccrs oithe Government that accompany it, and all
the long speeches OF members Of Congress, written
out or revised by themselves. Ii is printed in the
same form as the Congressional Globe, and usu-
ally makes about the same number of pages.
There are not so many numbers published the first
weeks of session, as there are numbers of the
Congressional Globe because the members are
slow in writing out their speeches. But towards
the close Of session the numbers are published
more frequently than the Congressional Glo;,c
Each OF these works is complete in itself; but
it's 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 OF lis correctness, published in the Con-
gressional Globe. the reader may turn TO the APP
pendx to see the speech at length, corrected by the
member himself.
Now there is no source but the Congressional
Globe and Appendix from which person can
obtain full history Of the proceedings OF Congress.
GALES IL SEAToN's Register of Debates, which
contained history, was suspended in the year
1887, and has not since been resumed. Ii cos,
about five times as much for session as the Con-
grcssional Globe and Appendix, and did not con-
tain an equal amount of matter, grea, portion of
the current proceedings being omitted. The spec
ches OF both parties are published in the Daily
Globe, and in the Congressional Globe and Ap-
pendx Other papers publish their Oica side only.
We are enabled to PRINT the Congressional Globe
and Appendix at the low rate now proposed, by
having large quality Of type, and keeping the
Congressional matter that we set up for the
Daily and Scmiwcekly Globes standing for the
Congressional Globe and Appendix.
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.
The reports Of the Congressional Globe and
Appendix are not in the least degree affected by
the party bias OF the Editors. they are given pre-
clsely as written out by the Reporters and the
Members themselves. And the whole are subject
to the revision and correction of the speakers us
they PASS in our daily sheet, in case any msun-
dcrstandlng or Misrepresentation of their remarks
should occur We make daily analysis Of the
doings in Congrss and give our opinions in it free
ly; but this is published only in the Daily, Semi
weekly, and Weekly Globes. The Daily Globe is
$40, the em-Wceky Globe So, and the Wcelly
Globe q par annum, IA 0drance. The Weekly
Globe is printed in the same form as the Congress
slonal Globe and Appendix, and complete index
made to it at the end Of each year.
Both Houses of Congress take the Congress
sional Globe and Appendix for their committee
rooms, and for the Libraries of Congress. so CON
iident are we that all who may subscribe for these
works will be pleased with them, that we hereby
pledge ourselves TO take them hack and rrfand the
money to all who shall be dissatisfied, II any per.
sons shall have any Of tne previous volumes on
hand, and shalt wish to dispose of them, if they
will send them 10 US, we viii send To them the
like number of the future volumes. The Wing
Members of Congress, who did not subscribe for
these works at first, are now almost compelled to
hive the back numbers, to enable them TO under.
stand the previous legislation of Congress. We
have back numbers on hand but we can dispose
of them, and all that may be returned to US.
