These works have now been published bv II,
for ten consecutive sessions Of Congress, COM
mencing with the session of 1928. They have
had such wide circulation, and 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-
cincty, their contel IS, the form in which they
will be printed, and the prices for them. az.
The Congressional Globe is made up of the
daily proceedings ofthe two Houses of Congress.
The speeches of the members are abridged, or
condensed, to 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 double royal
sheet, in quarto form, each number containing
l6 royal quarto pages II is printed as fast az
the business done in Congress furnishes matter
enough for number-usually one numbA ut
sometimes two numbers, week. We have in
yarably printed more numbers than there were
weeks in a session. The approaching session of
Congress, it is expected, will continue months;
if so, subscribers may expect between 80 and 40
numbers, which, together, will make between
5OO and 600 royal quarto pages.
The Appendix is made up of the President,s
annua' message, the reports Of the principal Off
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.

es being sonumerous and 80 long, we have not
completed the Appendix until one or two months
alter the close of the session; but, in future, we
intend to print the speeches fast as they shall
be prepared, and Of course shall complete the
work within few days nfter the adjournment.
Each Of these works is complete in itself: but
it is necessary for every subscriber whU desires a
full knowledge of the proceedings of Congress, 10
have both; because, then, If there should be anv
ambiguity in the synopsis of the speech, or anv
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

obtain full history of the proceedings of Con-

Complete indexes to both the Congressional

Of each session, and sent to all subscribers for
them.
We have on hand 5000 or 1000 surplus eopias

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 of the next session.
The important matters discussed at the last,will
be brought up at the next session, in consequence
ofthe universal dissatisfaction evinced ia the
late elections with the vast and novel system Of
policy which the new powers have introduced,
and which was forced thro' Congress without
consulting public opinion, or even allowing the
full discussion usual III regard to subjects of or
