PROSPECTUS FOR THE CONGRESS
IL IONAL GLOBE AND APPENDIX,
These works have such a wide circulation, an
have been so universally approved and sough
after by the public, that we deem il necessary
only in this prospectus to say that they will b
| continued at the next session of ConRres 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 nov
er's own words; and the yeas and rays on all
the important questions. It e printed with
small type--brevier and nonpareil--on double
royal sheet, in quarto form, each number con.
tanning I6 royal quartO pages. 1t printed
as fast as the business done in Congress, flrn.
ishes matter enough for a number. The first
four weeks of a session usually furnish mattOr
enough for one number week and the balance
uf the session enough for two or three numbers
week. The coming session of Congress will
furnish matter enough, we suppose, for twenty.
Eve or thirty numbers.
The Appendix is made up of tho Presidents
annual message, the reports of the principal Off
GERS Of the Government that accompany il, and
: all the long speeches of members of Congress.
written out or revised by themselyes II is
printed in the same form as the Congressional al
Globe, and usually makes about the same mum
her OF pages. There are not so many nulnLers
published the first weeks of a session, MS there
are numbers of the Congressional Globe, because
the members are slow in writing out the eech-
es. But towards the close of a session, the num-
bers are published moro frequently than the
Congressional Globe.
Each Of these works is complete in itself:
but II is necessary for every subscriber who de.
sirCs foil knowledge of the proceedings of con-
gress, to have both, because, them there should
be any ambiguity in the SYNOPSIS of The speech
: er any denial of its correctness, as published in
the Congressional Globe, the reader NAV turn 10
the Appendix to see the speech at length, cor
rscted by the member himself
Now, there is no source but the CongressioD-
al Globe and Appendix, from which a person
can obtain full history of the proceedings of
Congress. Gales and Seaton's tRegster Of De
bates, which contained a history, was suspended
IN the year 1897, and has not yet been resumed.
IL cost about hve times aS much for session
as the Congressional Globe and Appendix, and
did not contain an equal amount Of matter, a
, great portion OF the current proceedings being
omitted. The speeches of both parties is pub.
lished in the Daily Globe, and IN the Congress.
ionAl Globe and Appendix; other papers pub
lish their OWN SIDE only. We are enabled to
print the COngross ional Globe and Appendix at
the low rate now proposed BY having a large
quantity of type, and keeping the Congressional
matter that we set up for the Daily and Semi
weekly GLOBES standing for the congressional
Globe and Appendix.
Complete indexes to both the CONGRESSIONAL
Globe and Appendix are printed at the close
Of each session, and sent to all subscribers, for
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
On precisely as written out by the Reporters and
the Members themselves. And the whole are
subject to the revision and correction Of the
speakers, as thev pass in review in our daily
sheet, in case any Misunderstanding or miSrep-
resentation or their remarks should occur. We
make daily analysis of the doings in Congress-
aud give opinions in il freely, but this Is pub
ished only in the Daily, Semi.Wsekly and
Weekly Globes. The Daily Globe is Si0, the
Semi-Weekly Glnbe SIS, and tho Weekly Globe
So per unnum, IN ADVANCE. The Weekly Globe
ispFinted in the same form as the Congressional
Globe and Appendix, and a complete index
made 10 it at the ond of each year.
Both Houses of Congress take the Congress-
'Vh"l Ulope duu AppouulA tOr Lnelr committees |
rooms and for the libraries of Congress. So con.
fdent are we that all who may subscribe for
these works will be pleased with them, that we
hereby pledge ourselves to take them back and
refund the money to all who shall be dissasis6ed /
II any person shall wish to dispose of them. n
they will send them to us, we will send them the
like number Of the futnre volumes. The Whi1
Members of Congress, who did not subscribe ioT
these works at first, are now almost compelled
to have the back numbers, to enable them To
understand the previous legislation ofConpress.
We have back numbers on hand, but we can
dispose Of them, and all that may be returned
10 us.
