Congressional Globe 4 Appendix.


These works have such wide circulation, md
have been so universally approved and sought after
by the puhlic, that we deem it necessary only IN
isprospcctus to say thai they will be continued a;
The next session ci Congress- and to state, sue
cuctIy, their contents, the form in which they
Will be printed, and the prices Tor item.
The Congressional Globe is made up Of the
daily proceedings OF the two Houses of Congress.
The speeches oftho members are abridged, OF con-
densed, to bring them into reasonable or read
able length. All the resolutions offered, OF motions
made, are given at length, i'll t. G movers own
words and the yeas and nays on all the impor-
tant questions. II is printed with small type
BREWER and nonpare--on adouble-royal sheet, in
/ luaIto from, each number containing rs royal
Iuaro pages. 1t is printed fast the busin, IS
done in Congress furnighcs matter enough for n
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 will furnish matter enough
we suppose, for twenty-five or thirty numbers.
The Appendix Is made up of the pREsiDES :.
annual message, the reports Of the principal Of
fcers ofihe Government that accompany it, and all
the long speeches Of members of Congress, written
out or revised by themselves. II is printed in the
same form as the Congressional Globe, and usu-
ally makes about the same number Of pages.
There are no; 50 many numbers published the first
weeks Of 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 iisclf but
it Is necessary for every subscriber who desires a
fall 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 lis correctness, as published in the Con-
gresslonal Globe the reader may turn TO the APP
pcudx to see the speech atlength corrected by the
member himself.
Now, there is no source but the Congressional
Globe and Appendix from which a person can
obtain full history olthe proceedings oil Congress
GALES 81 SEAroN's Register of Debates, which
contained a history, was suspended in The wear
1887, and has not since been resumed. 1t cost
about five times as much for a session as the Con-
gres5ional Globe and Appendix and did not con-
tain an equal amount of matter 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 APP
pcndix Other papers publish their olCn side only.
We are enabled to PRINT the Congressional Globe
having a large quantity Of type, and keeping the |
Congressional matter that we set up for the |
Daily and Scmi-weckly 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- |
ci5ely 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 misun-
Outstanding or misrepresentation Of their remarks
should occur We make daily analysis of the |
dongs in Congrss and give our opinions in it free
~; but this is published only in the Daily, Semi |
weekly, and Weekly Globes. The Daily Globe is |
80. the Semi-WeekIy Globe S. and the Weekly |
Globe y par annum, IN adrmce. The Weekly !
Globe is printed in the same form as the Congress
slonaI Globe and Appendix, and a complete iudex
made to it at the end of each year.
Both Houses of Congress take the Congress
sional Globe and Appendix for their committee
rooms, and for the libraries of Congress. SO con-
ddent are we that all who may subscribe for these
works will be pleased with them, that we hereby |
W NtthC llltlll Bdck ana IclQIlu lUc
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 |
ike number of the future volumes. The Whig |
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
have back numbers on hand; but we can dispose
of them, and all that may be returned to us.
