PROSPECTUS
OF THE
Globe and Appendix.

THESE works have such wide circulation, and
have been so universally approved and sought after
by he public, that we deem necessary OILY in this
prospectus, to say that they will be continued at the
next session Of Congress and to state. succincty
their contents the form in which they will he print
ed, and the prices for them.
The Congressional Globe is made up Of tie daily
proceedings of the two houses Of Congress. The
speeches Of the members are condensed TO bring
them into readable length. All the resolutions Of
fered, or motions made arc given in the movers own
words; and the yeas and nays on all the important
questions. I, is printed with small typc-hrevier
and nonpareil on double royal sheet in quarto
form each number containing 10 royal quarto pa
ges. 1t is printed as fast the business done in
Congress furnishes matter enough for one number.
The first four weeks of session usually furnishes
matter enough for one number week and the bal
ance of the session enough for two or three numbers
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. II printed in the same form
as the Congressional Globe and usually makes a.
bout the same number Of pages. There are not SO
many numbers published the first weeks of sess-
ion as there are numbers ofthe Congressional Globe
because the members are slow in writing on: their
speeches; but towards the close of session, the
numbers are published more frequently than the
Congressional Globe
Each of these works is complete in itself; hut it
is necessary for every subscriber who desires full
knowledge Of the proceedings Of Congress, 10 have
both because them there be any ambiguity in the
synopsis of the speech, any denial OF its correct
ness, as published in the Congressional Globe, the
reader may turn to the Appendix to see the speech
at length, corrected by the member himself.
