PROSPECTUS
FOR THE
Congressional Globe a. Appendix.

r Congressional Globe a. Appendix
These works have such q wide circulation, ant
have been so universally approved and sought aite
by the public, that we deem il necessary only II
this prospectus to say that they will becontinued a
the next session OF Congress, and 10 state, sue
cinctly, their contents, tie form IN watch they
will be printed, and the prices for them.
The Congressional Globe is made up OF the
daily proceedings of the two Houses of Congress
The speeches oltho members are abridged, or con
denscd, 10 bring them into a reasonable or read
able length. All the resolutions offered, or motions
made, are given at length, IN the movers own
words and the yeas and NAYS on all the impor-
tant questions. It's printed with small type
BREWER aud nonparci--ou adoube-r0yal sheet, in
/ quarto from, each number containing 10 royal
quarto pages. 1t is printed as fast the business
! done IN Congress furnishes matter enough for a
number. The FIST four weeks Of a session usu-
ally furnish matter enough for one number n
week and the balance Of The session enough for
two ar three numbers week. The coming
session of Congress viii furnish mater enough,
we suppose, for twenty-five thirty numbers.
The Appendix Is made up Of the PMS DENT 5
annual message, the reports of the principal Of
fcers oitho Goyernmentthat accompany II, and all
the long speeches Of members of Congress written
out or revised by themselves. ltis printed in the
same form as the Congressional Globe, and usu-
ally makes about the same number of pages.
There are not so many numbers published the first
weeks OF session, there are numbers of the
Congressional Globe because the members are
slow in writing out their speeches. But towards
the close OF a session the numbers are published
more frequently than the Congressional Globe.
Each Of these works is complete in Itself; but
tits 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 itscOrrectness, as published in the Con-
gresslonal Globe the reader may turn to the APP
pondx to sectho speech a, length, corrected by the
member himself.
Now, there i;:no source but tho Congressional
Globe and AppeAdiS irom which a person can
obtain full history proceedings OF Congress.
GALES 81 SgAToN .Rsgister Of Debates, which
contained history vas So pended in the year
1887, and has not since been resumed. 1t cost
about five times as much FOR session as the Con-
grcssonal Globe and Appendix, aud did not con-
tain an equal amount of matter, a great potion OF
the current proceedings being omitted. The spec
ches of both parties are published in the Daily
Globe, and in the Congressional Globe and Ap.
pcndx: other papers publish their olcn side only.
We are enabled to print the Congressional Globe
aud Appendix at the low rate now proposed, by
having large quaodty of type, and keeping the
Congressional matter that we set up for the
Daily and Seml-weeky Globes standing for the
Congressional Globe and Appendix.
Complete indexes TO both the Congressional
Globe and the Appendix are printed at the close
OF each session, and sent 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-
csely 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 misuu-
Outstanding or misrepresentation of their remarks
should occur. We make daily analysis of the
doingsin Congrss, and give our opinions in it free
ly butthis is published only in the Daily, Semi
weekly and Weekly Globes. The Daily Globe is
$40, the Semi Weekly Globe SIS, and the Weekly
Globe % per annum, in Gdraace. The Weekly
Globe sprnted in the same form as the Congress
sIonal Glhbe and Appendix, and complete index
made to 1t at the end of each year.
Both Houses of Congress take the Congress
sionai Globe and Appendix for their committee
rooms, and for the libraries of Congress. So con-
fdcnt 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. If any 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, to enable them to under
stand the previous legislation Of Congress. We
