PROSPECTUS
FOR THE
Congressional Globe a. Appendix.

f Congressional Globe a. Appendix
!, These works have such a wide circulation, anC
have been so universally approved and sought aite
by the public, that we deem 1t necessary only II
this prospectus to say that they will be continued a
the next session of Congress, and to state, sue
cinctly, their conteats, the form IN which they
will be printed, and the prices for them.
The Congressional Globe is made up of tn,
daily proceedings of the two Houses of Congress
The speeches of the members are abridged, or con-
densed, to bring them into reasonable or read
able 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 impor-
tant questions 1t is printed with small type
BREWER and nonpareil-on adouble-royal sheet III
quarto from, each number containing 10 royal
quarto pages. 1t is printed fast as the business
done In Congress furnishes matter enough Tor a
number The first four weeks of a session usu-
ally furnish matter enough for one number u
week and the balance of the session enough Tor
two ar three numbers week. The coming
session of Congress will furnish matter enough
we suppose; for twenty-five OF thirty numbers.
The Appendix made up Of the PREsIDEN
annual message, the reports of the principal OF.
icers ofthe Government that accompany it, and all
the long speeches of members of Congress, written
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 a session, there numbers of the
Congressional Globe; because the members are
slow in writing out their speeches. But towards
the close OF a session the numbers are published
more frequently than the Congressional Globe.
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 of It's correctness, as published in the Con-
gressional Globe, the reader may turn to the APP
pendx to 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 SEAroN's Register of Debates, which
contained history, was suspended in the year
1887, and has not since been resumed. 1t cost
about five times much for a session as the Con-
gressonal Globe and Appendix, and did not con-
tain an equal amount of matter, great potion of
the current proceedings being omitted. The spec
ches of both parties published in the Daily
Globe, and in the Congressional Globe and APP
pendx other papers publish their O,cn side only.
We are enabled to PRINT the Congressional Globe
and Appendix at the low rate now proposed, by
having large quantity of type, and keeping the
Congressional matter that we set up for the
Daily and Semi-weekly 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.

Members themselves And the whole are subject
to the revision and correction of the speakers, as
they pass in our daily sheet, in case any misun-
Outstanding or Misrepresentation Of their remarks
should occur. We make daily analysis of the |
doings in Congrss, and give opinions in it free

Globe is printed in the same form as the Congress
sional 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-
ident are that all who may subscribe for these
works will be pleased with them, that we hereby

money to all who shall be dissatisfied. If any per-
sons shall have any of the previous volumes on
hand and shall wish to dispose of them, if they
will send them to us, we will send to them the

Members of Congress, who did not subscribe for
these works at first, are now almost compelled to
have 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.
