PROSPECTUS
FOR THE
Congressional Globe and Appendix.

THESE works have such wide circulation.
and have been so universally approved
and sought'after by the public, that we deem
IT necessary only in this prospectus to say that
they will be continued at the next session OF
Congress. and to state, succincty, their con
tents, the form in which they will be printed
and the prices for them
The Congressional Globe is made up of the
daily proceedings of two Houses Of Con-
gress The speeches of the members are alb
rdged, or condensed. to bring them into a
reasonable or readable length All the reso.
lutions offered, or motions made, are given at
| length, III the movers own words and the
yeas and nays on all the important questions.
1t is printed with small type-brevier and non.
pareil-on a double royal sheet, in ouarto
form, each number containing 10 royal quar-
to pages. 1t rs printed as fast as the business
done IN Congress furnishes matter enough for
a number. The first four weeks of a session
usually furnish matter enough for one number
a week; and the balance of the session en-.
ough tor two or three numbers a week. The
coming session ofCongress viii furnish matter
enough we suppose, for twenty-five or thir-
I ty numbers.
The Appendix is made up of'the PnRsr-
nEHT's annual message, the repDrts or tba
! principal officers of the Government that az.
| company it, and all the long speeches OF mem.
bers OF Congress-, written out or revised ~,
themselves. 1t is printed in the same form as
the Congressional Globe, and usually makes
about the same number of pages There are
not so many numbers published the first
weeks OF a session, as there are numbers of
the Congressional Globe; because the mem
oers are slow in writing out their speeches
But towards the close of session, the pnn-
beers are published. more frequently than the
Congressional Globe.
Each OF these works is complete in itself :
put 1t IS necessary for every subscriber who
desires full knowledge of the proceedings
OF Congress, to have both because, then, if
mere should be any ambiguity in the synopsis
| OF the speech. or any denial of its correctness
as published in the Congressional Giobe ths
reader may turn to the Appendix to see The

NOW, there is no source but the Conpression-
al Globe and Appendix, from which a person
can Obtain full history ofthe proceedings of
Congress. Gales and Seaton's REGISTER of
debates, which contained a history. was sus.
pended lnsthe year 1927. and has not since
been resumed. II cost about five times as
much session as the Congressional Globe &
appendix, enc did not contain an eoual a.
mount OF matter, great portion of the current
proceedings being omitted. The sDeeches IF
