PROSPECTUS
FOR THE
Congressional Globe d Appendix.


These works have such wide circulation, and
have been universally approved and sought after
by the public, that we deem 1t necessary only in
this prospectus to say that they will be continued at
the next session of Congress, and 10 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 ofthe members are abridged, OF con-
densed, 10 bring them into reasonable or read
able length. All the resolutions offered, motions
made, are given at length, III the movers own
words and the yeas and nays on all the impor-
tant questions. 1t is printed with small type
brewer and nonparell-on adoublc-royal sheet, IN
quarto from, each number containing 10 royal
quarto pages. 1t is printed as fast the business
done in Congress furnishes matter enough for
number. The first four weeks OF a 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 Presidents
annual mesSsge, the reports Of The principal Of
icers of he Government that accompany it. and all
the long speeches of members OF Congress, written
OFT or revised Ivy themselves. Its 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 a 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 Globe.
Each of these works is complete IA itself; but
it is necessary for every subscriber who desires a
full knowledge of tho 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, published in the Con-
gressional Globe the reader may turn to the APP
pendix 10 sde the speech at length, corrected by the
member himself
Now, there is 30 source but the Congressional
Globe and Appendix from which person can
obtain full history o!the proceedings OF Congress.
GALES 81 SEAroN's Register of Debates, which
contained history, was suspended in the year
1887, and has not since been resumed. 1t cost
about i've times as much for a session as the Con
grcssional Globe aud Appendix, and did not con-
tain an equal amount of matter, great 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 APP
pendix other papers publish their urn 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 aud Semi-wcekIy Globes standing for the
Congressional Globe and Appendix.

Globe and the Appendix are printed at the cIost

the party bias Of the Editors. they are given pre-
