PROSPECTUS
FOR THE
Congressional Globe g. Appendix.

4 congressional GiODc q lAppcsUAA
These works have such wide circulation, ant
have been so universally approved and sought aiie
by toe public, that we deem 1t necessary only ~
this prospectus to say that they will be continued al
the next session of Congress, and 10 state, sue
cinctly, their contents the form in which 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 of,he members are abridged or con-
denscd, to bring them Into reasonable or read
able length. All the resolutions offered, or motions
made, are given at length, IN tie movers o"n
words; and the yeas and nays on all the impor-
tant questions. Ii is printed with small type
BREWER aud nonpareil--on adouble-royaI sheet, IN
quarto from, each number containing 10 royal
quarto pages. 1t is printed fast the busint IS
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 a week. The coming
session of Congress will furnish matter enough,
we suppose, for twenty-five or thirty numbers.
The Appendix made up of the PnEsInrN =
annual message, the reports Of the principal Of
hcers ofthe Government that accompany 1t, and all
the long speeches OF members of Congress, written
oNs w 'C'iSSu ~ lltiunNiNNS' III itulNtu III lIlS
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 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 session the numbers are published
more frequently than the Congressional Globe.
Each OF these works is complete in itself; bu,
1t is necessary for every subscriber who desires
full knowledge of the proceedings of Congress, to
have both because, then, if there should be any
in the synopsis Of the speech, or any
denial OF lis correctness, as published in the Con- !
gressonal Globe, the reader may turn to the APP
pcudix TO see the speech at length corrected by the
member himself.
Now, there is no source but the Congressional
Globe and Appendix from which a person can
obtain full history Of The proceedings Of Congress.
GALES q 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 as much for a session as the Con-
gressional Globe and Appendix, and did not con-
tain al equal amount of matter, great portion Of
the current proceedings being omitted. The spec
rhes Of both parties are published in the Daily |
Globe, and in the Congressional Globe and APP |
pendix: other papers publish their o,oa side only.

and Appendix at the low rate now proposed, by
having large quantity Of type, and keeping the
Congressional matter that we set up for the
Daily and Semi-weckly Globes standing for the
Globe and Appendix.
Complete indexes to both the Congressional
Globe and the Appendix are printed at the close
Jl each session, and seat 10 all subscribers for
hem.
The reports Of the Congressional Globe and
Appendix are not in the least degree affected by
he party bias OF the Editors they are given pre-
,lsely as written out by the Reporters and the
Members themselves. And the whole are subject
10 the revision and correction of the speakers, as
hey pass in our daily sheet, in case any misun-
Outstanding or misrepresentation Of their remarks
should occur. We make daily analysis of the
LONGS in Cougrss, and give our opinions in it free
y; but this is published only in the Daily, Semi
weekly, and Weekly Globes. The Daily Globe is
$40, the Semi-Weekly Globe S., and the Weekly |
Globe - par annum, IN aiyaace. The Weekly |
Globe is printed in the same form as tie Congress
sional Globe and Appendix, and complete index |
made to II at the end of each year,
Both Houses of Congress take the Congress
s0nal Globe and Appendix for their committee |
rooms, and ior the libraries of Congress. So con- |
fdent 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, 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 al! that may be returned to us.
