PROSPECTUS
Congressional Globe and Appendix.

Congressional Globe and Appendix.
,svHES 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
thew will be continued at the next session OF
Congress, and to state, succinctiy, their con
tents, the form in which they will be printed,
and the prices for them. -. go. .--.-
The Congressional Globe is made up Of the
dailv proceedings Of The two Houses Of Con
gress. The speeches Of the members are alb
ridged, or condensed, to bring. them into a
reasonable or readable length. All the reso..
buttons offered, or motions made, are given at
length, in the movers own words and the
yeas and nays on all the important questions.
It is printed with small type-brevier and non
parei1-on aouble-roysl sheet, in quarto
| form, each number containing Is royal quar-
to pages. 1T is printed as fast as the business
done in Congress furnishes matter enough for
| a number. The Erst four weeks of session
usually furnish matter enough for one number
! 4 week; and the balance of the sess, ON en-
ough for two or three numbers week. The
coming session of Congress will furnish matter
enough we suppose, for twenty fYe or tlir-
| ty numbers
/ The Appendix is made up OF the PIEsI-
DEBTS annual message, the reports of the
principal officers of the Government that ac-
company it, and ali the long speeches Of mem
bers of Congress, written out or revised by
| themselves. 1t is printed in the same ferla as
| the Congressional Globe, and usually makes
about the same number of pages. There are
not so many numbers published the frst
weeks of session, as there are numbers of
! the Congressional Globe; because the mem
hers are slow in writing out their speeches
! But towards the close OF a session, the num-
! bers are published more frequently than the
Congressional Globe.
| Each of these works is complete in itself ;
| but it is 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 its correctness,
as published in the Congressional Globe, the
reader may turn to the Appendix to see the
speech at length, CORE cted by the member
! himself.
| Now, there is no source but the COMPRESSION
al Globe and Appendix, from which person
can obtain full history ofthe proceedings of
! Congress-. Gales and Seaton's Register of
Debates, which contained history, was sus-
| pended in the year 1927, and has not since
| been resumed. 1t cost about five times as
much session as the Congressional Globe &
! Appendix, and did not contain an equal a
mount OF matter, great portion of the current
| proceedings being omitted. The speeches OF
! both parties are published in the Daily GLOBE,
and in the Congressioal Globe and Appendix:
| other papers publish their OL1e side only. We
are enabled to print The Congressional Globe
| ard Appendix at the low rate now proposed,
! by having large quantity oftype, and keep
| ing the Congressional matter that we set up
| for the Daily and Sem-weekly 1fcbes stand
ing for the Congressional Globe and Appen-
| dix.
| Complete indexes to both the Congressiona,
| Globe and the Appendix are printed at the
| close of each session, and scft to all subscri-
bers for them.
| Both Houses of Congress take the Congress
| sional Globe and Appendix for their commit
| tee-rooms and for the libraries of Congress.
| SO confident are we that ali who may subscri-
| be 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 If any persons shall have a
ny of the previous volumes OH hand, and shall
wish &c 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, to enable them to un-
| derstand the previous legislation of Congress
We have back numbers on hand; but we can
dispose Of them, and ali that may be returned
| to us.
