PROSPECTUS
foR THE
Congressional Globe & Appendix.

{ congressional Globe g. Appendix
These works have such wide circulation, am
have been so universally approved and sought ate
by the public, that we deem il necessary only il
this prospectus to say that they will be continued a
the next session OF Congress, and to state, sue
cincty, their contents, the form in which thel
VIII be printed, and the prices for them.
The Congressional Globe is made up of th,
daily proceedings of the two Houses of Congress
The speeches ofthc members are abridged, or con
densed, 10 bring them into a reasonable or read
able length. All the resolutions offered or motion,
made, are given at length, in the movers own
words; and the yeas and nays OH all the impor-
t1nt questions. IL is printed with small type
brewer aud nonpareil--on a doube-royal sheet, in
quarto from, each number containing Is royal
quarto pages. Ii is printed fast the business
done IN Congress furnishes matter enough for a
number. The first 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 PRtsInLS ,.
annual message, the reports of the principal OF
iiccrs ithe Government that accompany it, and all
the long speeches of members OF Congress. written
out or revised by themselves. 1t is printed in the
same form as the Congressional Globe, and usu-
ally makes about the same number Of pages.
lAcrc are not so many numbers published the first
weeks of a 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
tlS necessary for every subscriber who desires
full 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 lis correctness. published Ia the Con-
gressionaI Globe, the reader may turn to the APP
pendlx to see the speech at length, corrected by tie
member himself.
Now, there ia no source but the Congressional
Globe and Appendix from which person can
obtain full history tho proceedings of Congress
GALES ~ SEAroN's Register Of Debates, which
contained history, was suspended in the wear
S31, and has not since been resumed. 1t COS,
about five times as much for a session as the Con-
grcssiOnal Globe and Appendix, and did not con-
tain an equal amount of matter, great portion Of
the current proceedings being omitted. The spec
chcs Of both parties are published in the Daily !
Globe, and in the Congressional Globe and APP |
pendx other papers publish their olca side only |
We are enabled to PRINT The Congressional Globe |
and Appendix at the low rate now proposed, by |
having large quantity Of type, and keeping the
Congressional matter that we set up for the
Daily and Semi-weekiy Globes standing for the |
Globe and Appendix.
Complete indexes to both the Congressional
Globe and the Appendix are printed at the close
OF each session, and sen! 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-
c!scy written out by the Reporters and the
Members themselves And the whole are subject
to the revision and correction of the speakers, as
they pass in our daily sheet, in case any misun-
lcrstanding or misrepresentation of their remarks
should occur. We make daily analysis of the
oings in Congrss, and give our opinions in it free
~; but this is published only in the Daily, Semi
weekly, and Weekly Globes. The Daily Globe is
$40 the Sem-W cekly Globe S. and the Weekly
Globe - par annum, IN a9cuice. The Weekly |
Globe is printed in the same form as the Congress
sonal Globe and Appendix, and a complete index
made to it at the end of each year.
Both Houses of Congress take the Congress
sonaI Globe and Appendix for their committee
rooms, and for tho libraries of Congress. So con-
tidcnt 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. Ifany per
sons shall have any of the previous volumes on
hand, and shall wish to dispose of them, if they |
will send them to US, we will 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, 10 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 W.
TERMS.
