PROSPECTUS /
FOR THE
Congressional Globe and Appendix.
FOR THE

HESE 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
they viii be continued at the next session o!
Congress, and to state, succinctv, their con
tents tHe FORM n which they will be printed,
and the prices for them.
The Congressional Globe is made ~, &C 4ha
dali" proceedings OF the two Houses of Con-
gress. The speeches of the members are oh
ridged. or condensed, to bring then, ;,,,o -
reasonable or readable length. All the reso,
buttons offered, or motions made. are ec;,,an 81
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.
psrell-on double-royal sheet. in cnapto
form, each number containing l6 roval omar
to pages. 1t is printed as fast as the business
done IN Congress furnishes matter enough fo,
number. The first four weeks of a session
usually furnish matter enough for one number
week; and the balance of the session en-.
ough tor two or three numbers a week. The
coming session Of Congress will furnish matter
enough. we suppose, for twenty-five or thir-
ty numbers.
The Appendix is made up of the PPrs,-
DEBTS annual message, the reDorts of the
principal officers of the Government that ar
| company It, and all the long speeches Of mem.
bers of Congress, written ont or revised y,
| themselves. 1t is printed in the same form a,
the Congressional Globe, and usually make,
| about the same number of pages. There arc
not 50 many numbers published the first
weeks OF session, as there are numbers NJ
the Congressional Globe; because the mem
bers are slow in writing out their speeches
But towards the close Of session, the num-
bers are published more frequently than the
Congressional Globe.
Each OF these works is complete in Itself
but 1t is necessaryefor every subscriber whe
desires full knowledge of the proceeding
of Congress, to have both because, then, i
there should be any ambiguity in the synopsi
OF the speech, or any denial of its correctness
as published in the Congressional Globe, thu
| reader may turn to the Appendix to see the
speech at length, CORE cted by the membe
himself.
Now, there is no source but the Compression
! al Globe and Appendix, from which persol
can obtain full history ofthe proceedings o
Congress. Gales and seaton's Register o
| Debates, which contained history, was Sis
pended inSthe year 1927, and has not sine,
! been resumed. It cost about five times a
much session as the Congressional Globe &
Appendix, and did not contain an equal a
mount OF matter, great portion of the curren
proceedings being omitted. The speeches o
both parties are published in the Daily Globe
and in the Congressional Globe and Appendix
| other papers publish their eaOn 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 NJ
tor the Daily and Semi-weekly aiobes stand
ing for the Congressional Globe and Appen-
! dix.
Complete indexes to both the Conrressiona
Globe and the Appendix are printed at tht
close of each session, and sent to all subscri-
bers for them.
Both Houses of Congress take the Congress
s'onal Globe and Appendix for their commit
tee-rooms and for the libraries of Congress
80 confident are we that all who may subs ,ri
be TOR these works will be pleased with them
that We hereby D1edra ourselves to to1-a d.
