PROSPECTUS
yOa The
Congressional Globe d Appendix

Congressional Globe & Appendix.
These works have such wide circulation, ana
have been universally approved and sought alter
by the public, that we deem It necessary only IN
this prospectus say that they will be continued al
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 oflhc members are abridged, or con-
densed, To bring them into a reasonable or read
able length. All the resolutions offered, or motions
made, are given at length, in Il o movers own
words and the yeas and nays OF all the impOr-
tant questions. 1t is printed with small type
BREWER and nonparei'-on adouble-royal sheet, in
quartO from, each plumber containing 10 royal
quarlo pages. 1t is printed fast as the business
done III Congress furnishes matter enough for a
number. The first four weeks of n 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 PMS DENTS
annual message, the reports of the principal of
fters the Government that accompany IT, and all
the long speeches of members of Congress, written
out or revised by themselves. 1t is printed in the
same form Is the Congressional Globe, ana usu-
ally makes about the same number Of pages.
There are not 50 many numbers Published the first
weeks OF u session, as there are numbers OF lie
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
il is necessary for every subscriber who desires
full knowledge of the proceedings OF Congress, to
have both {; because then, If there should be any
in the synopsis OF the speech, or any
denial of It's correctness as published III the Con-
gressional Globe, the reader may turn 10 the APP
pendx 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 oihe proceedings OF Congress.
GALES Il SEAroN's Register of Debates, which
hi tory. was suspended IN the year
1887, and has not since been resumed. 1t cost
about five times much for session Us the Con-
OCCASIONAL Globe and Appendix, and did not cou-
tain an equal amount of matter, great potion OF
The current proceedings being omitted. 4 he spec

Globe and the Appendix are printed AT the closc

The reports of the Congressional Globe and
4 ppcudix are not in the least degree affected by
the party bias OF the Editors. they are given pre-
clscly as written out by the Reporters and the
Members themselves. And the whole subject
To the revision and correction of the speakers, as
they pass in our daily sheet in any mis- ulI-
Outstanding or misrepresentation OF their remarks
