PROSPECTUS
OF THE
Globe and Appendix.

THESE works have such wide circulation, and
have been so universally approved and sought after
by the public that deem it necessary only in this
prospectus to say that they will he continued at the
mex, session Of Congress and to state, succinctly.
their contents, the form in which they will he print
ed, and the prices for them.
The Congressional Globe is made up Of the daily
proceedings of the two houses OF Congress. Tho
speeches of the members are condensed 10 bring
them into readable length. All the resolutions Of
fercd, or motions made, given in The movers own
words; and the yeas and nays on all the important
questions. II is printed with small type-breyier
and nonpareil on double royal sheet in quarlo
form each number containing l6 royal quarto pa-
ges It is printed as fast as the business done in
Congress furnishes matter enough for one number.
The fist four weeks offs session usually furnishes
matter enough for one number week and the bal
ance Of the session enough for two or three numbers
a week. The approaching session Of Congress will
be long one. and will furnish matter enough, we
suppose for fifty or sixty numbers.
The Appendix is made up Of the Presidents an
nual message the reports Of the principal officers Of
the Government that accompany it, and all the long
speeches of members Of Congress- written out or
vised by themselves. 1t is printed in the form
as the Congressional Globe, and usually makes a.
bout the same number Of pages. There are nc, so
many numbers published the first weeks Of sess-
ion, as there are numbers ofthe Congressional Globe
because the members are slow in writing gu. their
speeches: but towards the close of session. tho
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. 10 have
both; because then, ifthere be any ambiguity in tho
synopsis Of the speech, any denial O, its correct
ness, as published in the Congressional Globe the
reader may turn to the Appendix to sec the speech
atlength, corrected by the member himself.
Now, there is no source but TIC Congressional
Globe and Appendix, from Which person can OBJ
tam ful history OF tie Proceedings Of Congress-
GALES q oEAToS Register Of Debates, which con.
famed n'st';fy, was suspended in the year 1887,
ana mas rot since been resumed. II cost about Eve
times as much for session as the Congressional
"ioDe and Apperuix, and did not contain an equal
amount Of saer great portion Of the current pro.
ceetn~ss being admitted.
Complete indexes 10 both the Congressional Globe
and the Appendix are printed at the close Of each
session, and sent 10 all subscribers for them.
