PROSPECTUS
- FOR THE
Congressional Globe and appendix.

THESE works have such wide circulation,
and have been so universally approved
and sought after ty the public, that we deem
it necessary only in this prospectus to say that
they will be continued at the next session OF
Congress, and to state, succinctly. their con
tents, the form in which they will be printed,
and the prices for them

i done IN Congress furnishes matter enough for
a number. The FIRST four weeks of session
usually furnish matter enough for onenumber
"a week! and the .halance>of the session en-
ongh for two or three numbers a week. The
coming session of Congress will furnish matter
enough we suppose, for twenty-five or thir-
ty numbers.
The Appendix is made up of the Pnrs!-
nEHr's annual message, the reports of the
principal officers of the Government that &c.
compafryit and all the long speeches of mem
! bers OF Congress, written out or revised by
themselves. 1t is printed in the same form as
the Congressional Globe, and usually makes
about the same number of pages. There are
not 50 many numbers published the first
weeks OF a session, as there, are numb ars of
the Congressional Globe; because the mem
Ders are slow in writing out their speeches.
But towards the close of session, the num-
bers are published more frequently than the
Congressional Globe.
Each of these works is complete IN itself :

there should be any ambiguity in the synopsis
OF the speech. or any denial of its correctness,
as published III the Congressional Globe, the
reader may turn to the Appendix to see the
speech at length. corre cted by the member
himself
f, Now, there is no source but the Compression
al Globe and Appendix, from which a person
can obtain full history ofthe proceedings of
Congress. Gales and Seaton's Register OF
debates, which contained a history, was sus-
/ pended IN the year 1927, and has not since
! been resumed It cost about FIVE times as
much session as the Congressional Globe s.
Appendix, and did not contain an equal a.
mount OF matter, 4 great portion of the current
