Congressional Globe & Appendix.
/ These works have such wide circuaton and
have been so universally approved aud sought aiier
by the pubic, that we deem 1t necessary only IN
tins prospectus 10 say that they i'll be continued at
the next session oil Congress, and To state, sue
| cincily, their contents, the form IN which they
will be printed, and the prices for them.
! The Congressional Globe is made up of the
daily proceedings of the two Houses OF Congress.
The speeches the members are abridged, or con-
densed, To hrng them into reasonable or read
able length. Al The resolutions offered, motions
made, are given at length, in tic movers own
words Z; and the yeas and nays on oil the mpor-
tant questions. 1t is printed with small type
BREWER and nonpareil--on adouble-royal sheet, IN
/ qulrto from, each number coatdining l6 royal
qulrto pages. IL is printed fast the business
done III Congress furnishes matter enough for a
number. The first four weeks OF a session usu-
ally furnish matter enough for one number u
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 Pres DENTS
annual message, the reports of the principal Of
cers Of the Government that accompany II, aud all
the long speeches of members of Congress, written
same form as the Congressional Globe, and usu-
ally makes about the Samn number Of pages.
There are not 80 many numbers published the first
weeks ct a session. there are numbers of the
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 Glnhe.
Each al these works X complete III Itself; but
II IS necessary pr every subscriber who desires
foil knowledge OF the proceedings OF Congress. to
have both because, then, If there should be any
ambiguity IN the synopsis OF the speech, or any
denial of It's correctness, rs published in the Con-
gresslona Globe, the reader may turn to the a p-
pcndx TO 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 of The proceedings al Congress.
GNLEs ~ SEAToN's Register of Debates which
contained history, was suspended IN the year
1897, and has not since been resumed. 1t cost
about five times as much for session as the Con
gresslonal Globe and Appendix, and did not con-
tain an equal amount ul matter, a great potion of
the current proceedings being emitted. The spec
chcs of both parties are published in the DAILY
Globe, and IN the Congressional Globe and APP
pcndlx olhcI papers publish their DiUa SIDE only D..
