PROSPECTUS
FoRTHE
Congressional Globe g. Appendix.

lSOssS @SNAOssaah OhOOS - -
! These works have such wide circulation, ant
have been so universally apprnved and sought aite
| by the public, that we deem it necessary only in
this prospectus to say halthey will be continued
the next session OF Congress, and To state, sue
kcinctly, their contents, the form in which they
will be printed, andfhepiccs for them
! The Congressie1stf Globe is made up of the
daily proceeGingsof the two Houses OF Congress
The speeches oithe members are abridged, or con.
densod, TO bring them into reasonable or read.
! able length. All the resolutions offered, or motions
made, are given at length, in tie movers own
words and the yeas aud nays on all the impOr-
tant questions. 1t is printed with small type
BREWER and nonpareil--on double-royal sheet in
quarto from, each number containing 10 rpyul
quarto pages. 1t is printed as fast as the business
done in Congress furnishes matter enough Tor a
number. The first four weeks Of session Gsu.
ally furnish matter enough iof one nun her a
week aud the balance Of the session enough FOR
two ar three numbers week. The cunning
session of Congress will furnish matter enough,
we suppose, for twenty five or thirty numbers.
The appendix Is made up of the Pms DENT 5
annual message, the reports Of the principal of
liccrs ofthe Government that accompany 1t, and all
the long speeches of members of Congress, written
out or revised by themselves. Its printed IN the
same form As the Congressional Globe, and uSu-
lily makes about the same number OF pages.
There are not 50 many numbers published the frs.
weeks of session, as there are numbers of tho
Congressional Globe; because the members are
slow in writing out their speeches. But towards
the close of a session the numbers are published
more frequently than the Congressional Globe.
Each of these works is complete in itself; but
its necessary for every subscriber who desires
full knowledge of the proceedings of Congress, to
have both E; because. then, If there should be any
ambiguity in the synopsis of the speech, or any
denial Of It's correctness, as published Ia the Coz"
OCCASIONAL Globe the reader may turn Ia the : y
pcndix TO see the speech al length, corrected by TIA,
member himself.
Now, there is no source but the Congressional
Globe and Appendix from which Il person can
obtain a full history of the proceedings OF Congress
GALES IL SE,roN's Register Of Debates, which
contained a history, was suspended i'll the year
1881, and has not since been resumed. 1t cost
about five times as much for a session as the Con-
gressonai Globe and Appendix, and did not con-
tain an equal amount of matter, great potion OF
the current proceedings being omitted. The spec
ches of both parties are published in the Daily
Globe, and in the Congressional Globe aud APP
pendx Other papers publish their OtcH side only.
We are enabled to PRINT the Congressional Globe
and Appendix at the low rate now proposed, by
having a large quantity Of type, aud keeping the
Congressional matter that we set up for the
Daily and Semi-wcehly Globes standing Tor the
Congressional Globe aud Appendix.
Complete indexes to both the Congressional
Globe and the Appendix are printed at the close
Of each session, and seat to all subscribers for
them.
The reports of the Congressional Globe and
Appendix are not in the Feast degree affected by
the party bias OF the Editors. they are given pre-
clscly written out by the Reporters and the
Members themselves. Aud the whole are subject
to the revision and correction of the speakers, as
they pass in our daily sheet, in case any misun-
dcrsiandlng or Misrepresentation OF their remarks
should occur. We make daily analysis of the
doinssin Congrss and give our opinions in ii free
ly but this is published only in the Daily, Semi
weekly, and Weekly Globes. The Daily Globe is
$40. the Semi Weekly Globe s., and the Weekly
Globe % par annum, in G9raace. The Weekly
Globe is printed in the same form as The Congress
sonal Globe and Appendix, and complete index
made to it at the end of each year.
Both Houses of Congress take the Congress
sional Globe and Appendix for their committee
rooms, and for the libraries OF Congress. SO con-
ident 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 dissatisfied. If any per-
sons shall have any of the previous volumes on
hand and shall wish TO dispose of them, if .hey
will send them to us, we will send to them the
like number oi the future volumes. The Whig
Members of Congress, who did not subscribe for
these works at first, are now almost compelled To
have the back numbers, to enable them to under
stand the previous legislation of Congress. We
have back numbers on hand; but we can dispose
of them, and all that may be returned to US.
