These works have such wide circulation. an,
have been so universally approve and sought aiie
by the public, that we deem il necessary only il
this prospectus TO say that they will be continued a
The next session Of Congress, and 10 state, sue
cinctly, their contents, the form in which they
: will be printed, and the prices Tor them.
The Congressional Globe is made up of III,
daily proceedings Of the two Houses of Congress
The speeches ofthe members are abridged or con.
densod, 10 bring them into a 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. II is printed with small type
brewer and nonparo.l-on doabe-royal sheet IN
quarto from, each number containing 10 royal
quaro pages II is printed as fast as the business
done in Congress furnishes matter enough for a
number. The first four weeks of a session usu-
ally furnish matter enough for one number a
week and the balance of the session enough for
/ two ar three numbers week. The coming
session Of CONGRESS will furnish matter enough,
we suppose for twenty-five or thirty numbers.
1 The Appendix Is made up of the PREstpEN :.
annual message, the reports Of the principal Of
iiccrs ofthe Governmental accompany it, and all
the long speeches of members of Congress, written
out or revised by themselves. 1t is printed in the
same form as the Congressional Globe, and usu.
ally makes about the same number of pages
/ lhere are not so many numbers published the first
weeks OF a session, rs there are 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's necessary for every subscriber who desires
Iull knowledge of the proceedings Of Congress. to
have both; because. then, II there should be any
ambiguity IN the synopsis of the speech or any
denial OF ats correctness, published in the Con-
gressonal 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 bat the Congressional !
Globe and Appendix from which a person can
obtain foil history oflhc proceedings OF Congress
GALES Il SENToN's Register of Debates which |
contained a history, was suspended in the wear
1881, and has not since been resumed. 1t cost
about five times much for a session as the Con
gressonaI 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 and APP |
pendix: Other papers publish their ytCH 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 aud Appendix
Complete indexes TO both the Congressional
Globe and the Appendix are printed at the close
OF each session, and seat 10 al! subscribers for
them.
The reports of the Congressional Globe ard
Appendix arc not in the least degree affected by |
the party bias OF the Editors. they are given pre-
clscly as written cut by the Reporters and the
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 msun-
Outstanding or Misrepresentation of their remarks |
should occur. We make daily analysis of the |
doings in Congrss and give our opinions in it free
ly; but this is published only in the Daily, Semi
weekly, and Weekly Globes. The Daily Globe is |
$40, the Semi Weekly Globe So, and the Weekly
Globe - par annum, ia GdUaace. The Weekly |
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 tho libraries OF Congress. SO con-
ldent are we that all who may subscribe for these
works will be pleased with them, that we hereby |
pledge ourselves to take them back and rcflnd the
money TO al! who shall be dissatisfied. II 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
like number oi the future volumes. The Wing |
Members of Congress, who did not subscribe for
these works at first, are almost compelled to
have the back numbers, to enable them to under
stand the previous legislation of Congress. We
have back uambers on hand but we can dispose
Of them, and all that may be returned to us.
