PROSPECTUS FOR THE CONGRESS-
IoNAL GLOBE AND APPENDIX.
The Sc works have such wide circulation, an
have been so universally approved and sough
after by the public, that we deem il nec0ssar,
only in this prospectus to say that they will b
continued at the next session Of Congress, and
to state, ,succinctly, their contents, the form in
which they will be printed, and the price for
them.
The Congressional Globe is made I'D of IN.
daily proceedings of the two Houses of Congress.
The speeches of the members are abridged. or
condensed, to bring them into a reasonable and
readable length. All the resolutions offered or
motions mades are given at length, in tn Q nov
er's own words; and the yeas and rays on all
the important questions. 1t is printed with
small ype--brevier and nOnpareil--on a double
royal sheet, in quartO form, each number con.
tatning l6 royal quarto pages. It is printed
as fast as the business done in Congress, fum.
isheS matter enough for a number. The first
four weeks of a session usually furnish mattor
enough for one number week; and the balance
uf the session enough for two or three numbers
week. The coming session of Congress will
furnish matter enough, we suppose, for twenty,
Eve or thirty numbers.
The Appendix is made up Of the Presidents
annual message, tho reports Of the principal off,
GERS of the Government that accompany II. and
all the long speeches of members of ConRress.
written out or revised by themselves. Il Is
printed in the same form as the Congregational
Globe, and usually makes about the same num-
beI of pages. There are not so many numbers
published tho fiFst weeks Of session, as there
are numbers Of the Congressional Globe, because
the members are slow in writing out theirspeech-
Is. But towards the close Ofa session. the num-
6erS are published more frequently than the
Congressional Globe.
Each of these works Is complete in itself;
but II is necessary for every subscriber who de.
sires full knowledge Of the proceedings of con-
gress, to have both, because, then, there should
be any ambiguity in the SYNOPSIS of the speech
eT any denial of its correctness, as published 10
the Congressional Globe, the reader may turn 10
the Appendix to see the speech at length, cor.
rected by the member himself
Now, there is no source but the Congressiou.

can obtain full history of the proceedings of
Congress. Gales and seatOn's ERegister Of De
bates, which contained a history, was suspended
in the year 1887, and has not yet been resumed.
1t cost about FIVE times at much for a session
as the Congressional Globe and Appendix, and
dld not contain an equal amount Of matter, a
great portion OF the current proceedings being
omitted. The speeches of both parties iS pub.
lished in the Daily Globe, and IN tho ConpresO.

li1h their OWN SIDE only. We are enabled to
print the Congressional Globe and Appendix Al
the low rate now proposed BY having a large
quantity Of type, and keeping the Congressional
matter that we set up for the Daily and Semi
Weekly Globes standing for the congressional
Globe and Appendix.
Complete indexes to both the ConRdsssional
Globe and Appendix are printed at the close
Of each session. and sent to ell 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 civ. |
IN precisely as written out by the Reporters and
The Members themselves. And the whole are |
subject to the revision and correction Of the |
peakers, as thew pass in review In our daily
heot, In case any misunderstanding or miarep. |
eSentation or their remarks should occur. We
