PROSPECTUS
FOR THE
Congressional Globe a. Appendix.


These works have such wide circulation, and
have been so universally approved and sought after
ny the public, that deem 1t necessary only in
this prospectus to say that they will be continued o,
the next session of Congress- and to state, sue
cinct!ys; their contents, the form in which they
will be printed, and the prices Tor them.
4 The Congressional Globe is made up of the
daily proceedings of the two HOUSE, of Congress.
The speeches ofthe members are abridged, or con-
1enscd, to bring them into reasonabicior read
able !ength. All the resolutions offered, or motions
made, are given at length, i'll tie movers own
words and the yeas and nays on all the impor-
tant questions. 1t is printed with small type
brewer and nonparell--on adoub!e-royal sheet, in
Guarto from, each number containing 10 royal
quarto pages. Ii is printed fast the business
done ip Congress furnishes matter enough for
number. The fist four weeks OF a session usu.
ally furnish matter enough for one number a
week and the balance of the session enough for
two ar three numbers week. The coming
session of Congress will furnish matter enough
we suppose, for twenty-five or thirty numbers
| The Appendix Is made up of the PnLsIpEST's
annual message the reports Of the principal of.
icers otthe Government that accompany it, and all
the long speeches OF members of Congress written
out revised by themselves. 1t is printed iii the
same form the Congressional Globe, and usu-
ally makes about the same number Of pages.
There are not SO many numbers published the first
weeks OF session, as there are numbers of the
| Congressional Globe because the members are
slow in writing out 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; but
1t Is necessary for every subscriber who desires
full knowledge of the proceedings Of Congress- to
| la. .1,,tl al. a. l..
ambiguity in the synopsis of the speech, or any
denial Of It's correctness as published in the Con.
OCCASIONAL Globe, the reader may turn to the APP.
pendix TO see the speech at length corrected by the
member himself.
| Now, there is no source but the Congressional
Globe and Appendix from which person can
obtain full history ofthe proceedings OF Congress
GALES 81 SEAroS's Register of Debates, which
contained a history, was suspended in the wear
1887, and has not since been resumed. II cost
about five times much for session as the Con-
gressional 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 and APP
pendix: othei papers publish their otca side only.
We are enabled to print the Congressional Globe
and Appendix at the low rate now proposed, by
having large quality Of type, and keeping the
Congressional matter that we set up for the
Daily and Seni-weebly Globes standing for the
Congressional Globe and Appendix.
Complete indexes to both the Congressional
Globe and the 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 given pre-
cisely as writer out by the Reporters and the
Members themselves. And the whole are subject
to the revision and correction of the speakers,
they pass in our daily sheet, in case any misun-
derslandng or misrepresentation Of their remarks
should occur. We make daily analysis OF the
doings in Congrss, and give opinions in it free
iy; but this is published only in the Daily, Semi
weekly, and Weekly Globes. The Daily Globe is
$40, the Semi Weekly Globe So, and the Weekly
Globe - par annum, IN ddraace. The Weekly
Globe is printed in the same form as the Congress
sional 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-
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 dissatisfied. If any per-
VSois snail nave any ol tue pTeVlouS volumes on
hand and shall wish to dispose of them, if they
will send thom to rs, we win send to them the
like number of the future volumes. The Wing
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.
