PROSPECTUS FOR THE CONGRESS
1ONAL GLOBE AND APPENDIX.

These works have such VIDE clrcula-
)otion, and have bsen so universally aPpro-
we'd and sought after by the public, that
we deem it necessary only in this prospec
tus to say, that they will be continued a.
the next session Of Congress; and I"
state succinc,ly their contents, the form in
which they will be printed, and the prices
for them.
The Congressional Globe is made up of
TIE daily proceedings of the two Honses "f
Congress. The speeches of the members
are condensed, to bring them into reada-
Bile length. All the ieso utons ottered,or
motions made, are given In the movers
own words; and the yeas and nays on al
the important questions. 1t is printed with
small T. pc BREWER and nonpareII--on a
double royal sheet, in qnarto form; each
number containing IL royal quario pages.
il is printed as fast as the business done III
Congress furnishes matter enough Tor
number. The first four weeks OF session
usually furnish matter enough for Que num-
bsr week; and the balance of the sessl N
enough Tor two or three numbers week
The approaching session oil Congress Will
be a long one, and will furnish matter
enough, we suppose, tor fifty or sixty num-
bers.
The Appendix is made up of the PSesi-
dents annual message, the reports OF the
principal officers of government that ac-
company it, and all the long speeches OF
members oil Congress, written out "r rev.
IL I tnH in
same form as the Congressional Giobe, d
usually makes about the same numoer OF
pages. There arc not so many numbers
published, the first weeks of the session,
as there are numbers Of the C"ngresslon-
al Globe, because the members are slow in
writing out their speeches; but, towards
the close oil a session, the numbers are
published more frequently than the Con-
gressional Globe.
Each of these works is complete IN it.
sell; but it is necessary for every subscrI-
Der who desires full knowledge of the
proceedings of Congress, to lave both;
because, then, if there should be any am
biguity in the synopsis Of the speech, or
any denial of it's correctness, as published
in the Congressional Globe, the reader
may turn to the Appendix to see the speech
at length, corrected by the member him,
eelf.
Now, there is no source but the Con-
gresslonal Globe and Appendix, from
which person can obtain foil history Of
the proceedings of Congress. GALES &
SEAToN's Register of Debates, which con-
tanned q history, was suspended in the
year 1887, and has not since been resu-
med. 1t cost about five times as much for
a session as the Congressional Globe and
Appendix, and did not contain an equal
amount of matter, a great portion Of the
current proceedings being omitted.
Complete indexes to both the Congress-
ional Globe and the Appendix are printed
at the close of each session, and sent to
all subscribers for them.
The reports of the Congressional
Cube and Appendix arc not in the least
degree affected by the party bias of the
editors. They are given precisely As
written out by the Reporters and the Mem.
. bers themselves, and are subject 10 the re-
vision and correction of the speakers
Both Houses of Congress take the
Congressional Globe and Appendix for
their committee rooms, and Tor the libra.
ries OF Congress. So confden; are we
that all who subscribe for these works viii
be pleased with them, that we hereby pie ge
ourselves 10 take them back and refund
the money to all who may DO dIsSatis-
fed
The approach Of Congress VIII oh will
discuss for the American people all the
most important questions ever entertained
by the national councils, and new and i'm
