will be continued at tho next session OF Congress
and TO state, succncty their contents, the form IN
which they will be printed, and the prices for
them. E
e The Congressional Globe is made up of the
daily proceedings Of the two Houses of Congress.
The speeches of the members condensed, to
bring them into readable length. All the reso-
lulions offered, or motions made, given in tho
movers own words and the yeas and nays on
all important questions. 1t is printed with small
type-5revier aud nonpa roll q double royal

the business done in Congress furnishes mat
ter enough for number. Tho first four weeks
of n session usually furnish matter enough for
one number a woak; and the balance of the ses-
sion enough for two or three numbers week.
The approaching session of Congress will bo a
very long one, and will furnish matter enough,
We suppose, for fifty or sixty numbers.
The Appendix is made up of tho Presidents
annual message, the reports Of the principal off,
GERS of tho Government that accompany it, and
all long speeches Of members of Congress- writ.

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 five weeks of the session, as there are nr,'

rnembers are slow in writing out TIL. sPeoo L

Each Of these forks is complete in itself; but
It is necess.~y for every subscriber who desires
fnu LsS~ledge of the proceedings of Congress,
to lave 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 SEQ the speech at length, corrected
by the member himself.
Now, there is no source but the Congressional
Globe and Appendix, from which person can
obtain a full history of tho proceedings of Con-
gross. Gales & Seaton's Register of Debates
which contained a history, was suspended in the
year 1887, and has not since been resumed. 1t
cost about five times much for session as the
Congressional Globe and Appendix, and did not
contain an equal amount of matter, great por-
ton of the current proceedings being omitted.
Complete indexes to both the Congressional
Globe and Appendix are printed at the close of
each session and sent to the subscribers for them.
The reports of ihe Congressional Globe and
Appendix are not in the least degree affected by
the party bias of the Editors. They arc given
precisely as written out by The Reporters and the
Members themselves, and are subject to the rev.
SION and correction of tho speakers.
Both Houses of Congress take the Compression.

and for the libraries of Congress. So confident
are we that all who subscribe for these works will
be pleased with them, that we hereby pledge our
selves to take them back and refund the money to
all who may be dissatisfied.
The approach of Congress which will discuss
for the American people all the most important
questions ever entertained by the National Coun-
ellis, and new and extraordinary measures never
before fully ventured upon, has induced the pub.
fishers of the Globe. to make greater and better
preparation than heretofore for reporting and pub.

session. "A stronger corps Of reporters, new type,
and finer paper, will be provided, to present, in
the best manner, the debates and doings of the &C.
presentation Of the Union, which assemblies under
exciting circumstances, very widely differing from
the state of things encountered by any previous
congress. The executive power is at war with
both the great parties that compose the Congress:
and one of these will have the ascondency in the
Senate, while the other holds power in the recent
~ chosen popular branch. la this attitude Con-

have no doubt, greatly protiact the session, and

The Congressional Globe of the last long session
(mnde up OF the proceedings, including tho woes
and a synopsis of the discussion) extended to al.
most thousand quarto pages, small print. The
appendix of speeches, revised or written out bv
the speakers. consisted also of about one thousand
quartz pages. These volumes were furnished
for 81 each. The same amount of matter renor.
