Congressional Globe a. Appendix.

II Congressional Globe a. Appendix.
These works have such wide circulation. and
have been universally approved and sought after
by the public, that we deem it necessary only in
tins prospectus to say that they will be continued al
the next session OF Congress, and 10 state, sue
cmctly, their contents, The lorai IA which they
VIII be printed, and the prices lor them.
The Congrl ss!onai Globe Is made up OF the
daily proceedings oi the Two Houses oi Congress.
| The speeches oithe members are abridged or con-
denscd, 10 bring them ,nto reasonable or read
able length. All the resolutions Offered, OF motions
made, are given at length, III tie movers own
wOfds; and the yeas and nays all the impor-
tant questions. 1t is printed with small type
BREWER and nOnpareli--on adoubie-royal sheet in
quarto FROM, each number containing l6 rayai
quarlo pages. 1t is printed as fast as the business
done IN Congress furnishes matter enough for a
number. The first four weeks Of a session usu-
ally furnish matter enough for one number a
week and the balance of the session enough for
TWO ar three numbers week. The coming
session OF Congress will furnish matter enough
we suppose, for twenty five or thirty numbers
The Appendix Is made up OF the PnEs ,nEyT's
annual message, the reports of the principal of
iicers fthe Government that accompany il. aud all
the long speeches OF members of Congress written
out or revised by themselves. tits printed in the
same form as the Congressional Globe, and usu-
ally makes about the same number of pages
mere are not so many numbers published the first
weeks OF a session, as 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
It Is necessary for every subscriber who desires
lull knowledge of the proceedings of Congress, to
nave both because then, if there should be any
ambiguity IN the synopsis of the speech, or any
dehiai Oh It's correctness, published in the Con-
gfessionai Globe, the reader may turn to the Ap-
Pendlx 10 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 full history oi the proceedings OF Congress-
GALEs ~ SEAToN's Register of Debates, which
contained history, was suspended in the year
1887, and has not since been resumed. 1t cost
about five times as much for session the Con-
gressional Globe and Appendix, and did not CON
tain an equal amount of matter, great portion OF
the current proceedings being omitted. The spec
ches Of both parties published in the Daily
Globe, and in the Congressional Globe and Ap.
pcndix Other papers publish their o,cn side only
We are enabled to PRINT the Congressional Globe
and Appendix at the low rate now proposed, by
having large quality Of type, and keeping the
Congressional matter that we set mp for the
Daily and Semi-wcekly 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 sen, 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-
ciscy as written out by the Reporters aud 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 misun-
derstanding or misrepresentation Of their remark
should occur. We make daily ANALYSIS of the
dongs III Congress and give our opinions in it free
ly; but this is published only in the Daily, Semi
weekly, and Weekly Globes The Daily Globe is
$40, the Semi Weekly Globe So, and the " eekly
Globe . per aunum, IN odUGHce. The Weekly
Globe Is printed in the sdme form as the Congress
sioual Glhhc and Appendix aud a complete index
made to 1t at the end Of each year.
Both Houses of Congress take the Congress
sional Globe and Appendix for their committee
rooms, and for tho libraries of Congress. 50 con-
