nRosPECTUs FOR THE CONGRESS
IONAL GLOBE AND APPENDIX.
These works have such wide circulation, an
have been so universally approved and sough
after by the public, thatwe deem il necessar,
only in this prospectus to say that they will b
continued at the next session ofCongress, and
to state, ,succinctly, their contents, the form in
which they will be printed, and the price for
| them.
The Congressional Globe is made Up of the
daily proceedings of the two Houses of Congress,
/ The speeches Of the members are abridged, Or
| condensed, to bring them into a reasonable and
| readable length. All the resolutions offered OF
motions made, are given at length, in the mov-
er's own words; and the yeas and rays on all
the important questions. 1t tis printed with
small type--brevier and nonpareil--on n double
royal sheet, in quarto form, each number con-
tanning l6 royal quartO pages. Itis printed
as fast as the business done in Congress, furn.
ishes matter enough for number. The first
four weeks of a session usually furnish matter
enough for one number week; and the balance
| uf the session enough for two or 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 President'i
annual message, the reports of the principal off,
GERS of the Government that accompany il land
all the long speeches of members of Congress
written out or revised by themselves. 1t il
printed in the same form as the Congressiona
Globe, and usually makes about the same mum
her OF pages. There are not so many number
published the first weeks of session, as Their
are numbers of the Congressional Globe, becaus,
the members are slow in writing out theirspeech
es. But towards the close of a session. the mum
bers are published moro frequently than th
Congressional Globe.
Each of these works is complete in itself
but il is necessary for every subscriber who de

be any ambiguity in the SYNOPSIS of the speecI

rected by the member himself.
Now, there Is no source but the Congressiop

the low ratio now proposed by having a large
quantity of type, and keeping the GOngressional

Weekly Globes standing for the congressional
Globe and Appendix.

Globe and Appendix are printed at the close
Of each session, and sent to all subscribers, foI
them.
The reports of the Congressional Globe and
| Appendix are not, in the least degree, affected
by the party bias OF the editors. They are Civ

the Members themselves. And the whole are
subject to the revision and correction of the
speakers, as they pass in review. in our daily
sheet, In case any Misunderstanding or misrep.
