pendix.
These works have now been publs by us
for ten consecutive Sessions Of Congress, COM
mencing with the session of 1929 They have
had such wide circulation, and have been so
universally approved and sought after by the
public, that we deem il necessary only in this
prospectus 20 say that they will be continued at
the next session of Congress, and to state, sue
cinctly, their cOnteIts, the form in which they
will be printed, and the prices for them.
The Congressional Globe is made up of the
daily proceedings ofthe two Houses of Congress.
The speeches of the members are abridged, or
cond onsed, 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 quaTto form, each number containing
Is royal quarto pages 1t is printed as fast as
the business done in Congress furnishes matter
enough for number-usually one numbA NJ
sometimes two numbers, a week. We have in
variably printed more numbers than there were
weeks in q session. The approaching session of
Congress, it is expected, will continue 7 months;
if so, subscribers may expect between 80 and 40
numbers, which, together, will make between
500 and 600 royal quarto pages.
The Appendix is made up of the Presidents
annual 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.
ed in the same form as the Congressional Globe,
and usually makes about the same number Of
pages. Heretofore, on account of the set speech
os being so numerous and so long, we have not
completed the Appendix until one or two omonths
after the close of the session; but, in future, we
intend to print the speeches as fast as they shall
be prepared, and of course shall complete the
work within few days after tho adjournment
Each of these works is complete in itself; but
il is necessary for every subscriber who desires a
full knowledge of the proceedings of Congress, 10
have both; because, then, if there should be any
ambiguity in the synopsis of the speech, or any
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
Globe and Appendix, from which a person can
obtain full history of the proceedings of Con-
gress. Gales and Seaton's Register of Debates,
which contained history, has been discontinue
ed for three or four years. Ii cost about FIVE
times rs much for session as the Congressional
Globe and Appendix, and did not contain an
equal amount Of matter, great portion of the
current proceedings being omitted We are an
abled to print the Congressional Globe and An
pendix at the low rate now proposed, by having
large quantity of type, and keeping the Con.
gresSonal matter that we set up for the dailv
and semi-weekly Globes, standing for the Con.
gresSonal Globe and Appendix. If we had in
set mp the matter pLrposely for these works, we
could not afford to print them for double the price
now charged.
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.
We have on hand 1900 or 1000 surplus copies
Of the Congressional Globe and Appendix for the
extra session, which make together near one
thousand royal quarto pages. They give the full
lest history of Congress that has ever been pub
lished. We now sell them for one dollar each:
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 in 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 in regard to subjects of Or
dinary interest," The reports of the Congression-
al Globe and Apponpix are not in the least de-
gree affected by the party bias of the Editor
They are given precisely as written out bV the
Reporters and the members themselves. And
the whole are subject to the revision and correc-
tiOn of the speakers, as they pass in review in
our daily sheet, in case any Misunderstanding
or Misrepresentation of their emarks should oc-
cur.

Congress, and give our opinions in it freely, but
