FOR THE CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE
AND APPENDIX.

PROSPECTUS
FOR THE CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE
AND APPENDIX.
THESE works have such q wide circulation, and
i have been so universally approved and sought
after by the public, that we deem II, necessary only
in this prospectus TO say that they viii be continued
al the next session Of Congress; and 10 state, sue
cinc,fy, their contents, the form in which they will be
printed, and the prices for them.
The Congressional Glol e 10 made mp Of the daily
proceedings Of the two Housee Of Congress. The
speeches Of the members are condensed 10 bring them
into a readable length. All the resolutions offered.
or motions made, are given in the movers own words,
and the yeas and nays on all the important questions.
L. is printed with small type-brever and nonrarell- |
on a double.roval sheet, in qnario form each num-.
her containing l6 royal quarto pages. 1t is printed
as fast as the business done in Congress furnishes
matter enough for a number. The 6rs, four wee,s Of
a session usually furnish matter enough for one num-.
Der a week and the balance Of the session enough
for two Or three numbers a week. The approaching
session Of Congress will he q long one, and will fur.
t.ish matter enough, we suppose, for fifty or sixty
number.
The appendix is made up of the Presidents annual
message, the reports Of the principal officers Of the
Government that accompany it, and all the long
speeches OF members Of Congress, written Ont or re.
vised by themselves. 1t is ~printedin the some form as
the Cong re.sional Glote, and usually makes abou,
numbers published, the first weeks Of a session, as
there are numbers Of the Congressional Globe, be-
cause the members are slow in wiring out their
speeches; but, towards the close OF a session, the
numbers are published more frequently than the Con-
gressional Globe.
Each ofthe.e works is complete in itself; but it is
necessary TOR every subscriber who desires a full
knowledge Of the proceedings Of Congress, 10 have
both because, then, ifthere should he any ambigui-
" in The synopsis ofthe sneech, OF any denial Of its
correctness, as published in the Congressional Globe,
The reader may turn 10 the Appendix to see the speech
at length, CORRECTED by the member himself.
Now, there is no source but the Congressional Globe
and Appendix, from which a person can obtain a fall
history Of the proceedings OF Congress. GALES g.
SEAToN's Register Of Debates, which contained a his
tory, was suspended in the year 1887, and has not
since bcen resumed. 1t cost about hve times as much
for a session as the Cong ressional Glolc and Appen-
dix, and did not contain an equal amour, of matter, a
great portion OF the current proceedings being omitted.
Complete indexes to both the Congressional Globe
and the Appendix are printed at the close Of each scs.
sion, and sent 10 all subscribers for them.
The reports ofthe Congressional Globe and Appen-
dix are not IN the least degree affected by the party
bias ofthe Editors. They are given precisely as writ
ten out by the Reporters and the Members themselves
and are subject to the revision and CORES ton OF the
speakers.
Both Houses OF Congress take the Congressional
Globe and Appendix for their %commi,tee rooms, and
for the Libraries of Consress. So confident are we
that all who subscribe Tor these works will lie pleased
with them, that we hereby pledge on, elvc. 10 take
them lack and refund the money 10 all who may be
dissatisfied,
The approach Of Congress which will discuss fol
the American PEOPLE all The most important question
ever entertained by the national councils, aud new
and extraordinary measares.never before fully veniur-
ed upon, has induced the publishers OF the Glol tc
make greater and leiter preparation than heretofore

ceilings OF the next session. A stronger corps OF re.
poriers, new type, and finer paper, will he provided, ia
present, in the Lest manner, the debates and doings o
the representation Of the Union which assemblies un.

the state Of things encountered by any previous Con.
gress. The executive power is At war with both The
