PROSPECTUS
ron TUE
Congressional Globe & Appendix

These works have 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 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 ofthe members are abridged, or con-
densed, to bring them into n reasonable or read
able length. All the resolutions offered, or motions
made, are given at length. in the mover own
words and the yeas and nays on all the impor-
tant questions. 1t is printed with small type
BREWER and nonpareil-on adouhle-roya sheet, IN
quarto from, each number containing 10 royal
quarto pages 1t is printed as fast as the business
done in Congress furnishes matter enough for
number The first four weeks OF q session usu-
ally furnish matter enough for one number a
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 PREsrDENr
annual message, the reports OF the principal OF.
| icers of the Government that accompany It, and all
the long speeches Of members of Congress, written
out or revised by themselves. It'll printed IN the
same form as the Congressional Globe. and usu-
ally makes about the same number oil pages.
There are not so many numbers published the lirSt
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 in itself; but
tits necessary for every subscriber who desires
full knowledge of the proceedings of Congress- TO
have both because, then, if there should he 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
pendix 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 the proceedings OF Congress.
GALES 81 SEAroN's Register of Debates, which
contained history. was suspended IN the year
t 1887, and has not since been resumed. 1t cost
, about five times as much for session as the Con
grcssonal 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 are published in the Daily
, Globe, and in the Congressional Globe aud Ap-
" pendix: Other papers publish their Oacn side only

Globe and the Appendix are printed at the clos'
