The Congressional Globe is made up Q
the daily proceedings off twb Houses U
Congress. The speeches of the member
are abridged, or condensed, 10 bring then
into a reasonable or readable length. Al
the resolutions offered, or motions made
are given at length, in the movers OWL
woros; and the yeas and nays on all the
important questions. 1t is printed with
small 'yPe-breyier and nonpariel-on a
doobleroyal sheet, in quarto form, each
number containing l6 royal quarto pages
1t is printed as fast as the bu mess done in
Congress furnishes matter enough for a
number. The first four weeks of n ses.
sion usually furnishes matter enough for
one number week; and the balance of
the session enough for two or three num-
bers week. The coming session of Con-
gress will furnish matter enough, we sup
pose, for twenty five or thirty numbers.
The Appendix is made up of the Presi.
dents annual message, the reports of the
principal officers of the government that
accompany it, and all the long speeches oil
members of Congress, written out or re-
vISed by themselves. 1t is printed in The
same form as the Congre. sipnul Globe.
and usually makes about The same number
OF pages. There are not so many nun.
bers published The first weeks of IA session.
as there are numbers ofthe Congressional
Globe; beyause The members are slow ia
wiring out their speeches. But towards
the close Of a session, the numbers arc
published more frequently than the Con-
gressional Globe.
