PROSPECTUS
Congressional Globe and Appendix.

'HESE.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 saw that
they will be continued at tie next session Of
Congress, and to state, succinctlv. their con
tents, the form III which they will be printed.
and the prices for them.
f'he Congressional Globe is made ND Of the
daily proceedings Of the two Houses of Con
gress: The speeches Of the members are alb
ridged, or condensed, to bring them into a
reasonable or readable length. All the recn.
lutions offered. or motions made, are sr;ven At
length, in the movers own words and the
yeas and nays on all the important Questions
It is printed with small tvpe-brevier and non.
paren-on a double-royal sheet. in o,,arto
form. each number containing is royal Guar
TO pages. 1t is printed as fast as the business
done in Congress furnishes matter enouoh fo.
number. The first four weeks of a SESSION
usually furnish matter enough for one number

oa9'l tor two or three numbers p week. The
coming session of Congress will furnish matter
enough we suppose, for twenty, FIVE or thir-
ty numbers.

DEBTS annual message the reno,rs of tIa
