PROSPECTUS
CONGRESSIONAL Globe and Appendix.

J r.
! rr,HES F. works have such a wide circulation,
! L and have been 50 universally approved
and sought after ~ the public, that we deem
/ L necessary only in this prospectus to say that
they will be continued at the next session OF
| Congress- and to state. succinctly, their con
| tents. the form il which they will be printed,
and the prices for them.
The congressional Globe is made up Of the
daily proceedings Of two Houses OF Con
rress The speeches Of the members are alb
r;do,el. or condensed, TO bring them into A
reasonable or readable length. All the reso-
lntions offered, or motions made, are given at
lenp,th. in the movers own words and the
yeas and nays on ali the important questions.
1t is printed with small type--brevier and non
pareil--on dou5le-royal sheet, in qHarto
form, each number containing IS royal quar-
to pages. 1t is printed as fast IS the business
done in Congress furnishes matter enough for
number The first four weeks Of session
usual, furnish matter enoagh for one number
week !; and the balance Of the session en-
eugli for two or three numbers week. The
coming session Of CcngrcsS will furnish matter
enough we suppose, for twenty-five or thu
ty numbers.
The Appendix is made up OF the Past
nEur's annual message, the reports Of the
principal officers of the Government that ac
company it, and all the long speeches OF mem
bers of Congress. written out or revised by
themselves. It is printed in the same form as
the Congressional Globe, and USUALLY makes
about the same number Of pages. There are
not so many numbers published the first
weeks Of session, as there are numbers Of
the Congressional Globe because the mem
oers are slow il writing out their speeches.
But towards the close OF 4 session, Che num-
bers are published more frequently than the
Congressional! Globe. a.
Each of these works is complete in itself
but It is necessary for every subscriber who
desires q full knowledge Of the proceedings
of Congress, to 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 to the Appendix to see the
speech II length, corrected by the member
himself
Now, there is nc source but the Congression-
al Globe and Appendix, from which person
can obtain full history OF the proceedings Of
Congress. Gales and Sea,on's Register Of
Debates, which contained history, was sus-
pended in the year 1927, and has not since
been resumed. It cost about FIVE times as
much session as the Congressional Globe 8,
Appendix, and did not contain an equal a
