PROSPECTUS
FOR THE
Congressional Globe and Appendix.

THESE 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 will be continued at the next session of
Congress, and to state, succinctlv, their con
tents. the form in which they will be printed
and the prices for them.
The Congressional Globe is made nm Of the
daily proceedings of the two Houses Of Con-
! gress. The speeches of the members are alb
ridged, or condensed, to bring them into =
! reasonable or readable length All the reso.
lutons offered, or motions made, are given At
| length, in the movers own words and the
yeas and nays on all the important questions
It is printed with small tvpe-brevier and non.
parel-on double royal sheet, in ouarto
form, each number containing is roval quar-
to pages II is printed as fast as the business
done in Congress furnishes matter enough for
a number. The first four weeks of session
usually furnish matter enough for one number
a week; and the balance of the sess on en-.
ough for two or three numbers week. The
coming session ofCongress will furnish matter
enough we suppose, for twenty five or thir-
ty numbers.
The Appendix is made up of the PRrsr-
DEHr's annual message, the REPORTS of the
principal officers of the Government tlat ac
company it, and all the long speeches Of mem
bers of Congress. written out or revised bv
themselves. 1t is printed in the same form rs
the Congressional Globe, and usually 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 mem
oers 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 it is 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 its correctness,
as published IN the Congressional Globe, the
reader may turn to the Appendix to see the
himself.
Now, there is no source but Tie tyonnression.

pended IN the year 1897, and has not since
been resumed. It cost about FIVE times as
much a session as the Congressional Globe &
Appendix, and did not contain an equal a.
mount OF matter, great portion of the current
proceedings being omitted. The speeches Of
both parties are published in the D ,iIv Globe.
