PROSPECTUS FOR THE CoNGBEss
InNAI. El ORE AND APPENnY

These works have such wide circulation, an
have been so universally approved and sough
after by the public, that we deem it necessary
only in this prospectus to say that they will b
continued at the next session of fCongress, and
to state, ,succinctly, their contents, the form in
which they will be printed, and the price fOr
them.
The Congressional Globe is made up of the
daily proceedings of the two Houses of Congress.
The speeches of the members are abridged, or
condensed, to bring them into a reasonable and
readable length. All the resolutions offered or
motions made, are given at length, in the nov
er's own words; and the yeas and rays on all
the important questions. 1t printed with
small type--breVier and nonpareil-on a double
royal sheet, In quartO form, each number con-
tatning I6 royal quartO pages. Itis printed
as fast as the business done in Congress, furn.
ishes matter enough for a number. The first
four weeks of session usually furnish mattor
enough for one number week and the balance
uf the session enough for two or three numbers
a week. The coming session Of Congress will
furnish matter enough, we suppose, for twenty.
| Eve or thirty numbers.
| The Appendix is made up of the President's
annual message, the reports of the principal Off
GERS Of the Government that accompany it,aud
| all the long speeches Of members of Congress
written out or revised by themselves. Ii il
printed in the same form as the CoDgressiona a
Globe, and usually makes about the same mum
her Of pages. There are not so many number
published the first weeks Of a session, rs there
are numbers of the Congressional Globe, because
the members are slow in writing out theirspeech-
es. But towards the close offs session. the num-
berS are published moro frequently than the
Congressional Globe.
Each of these works is complete in itself;
but II is necessary for every subscriber who de.
sircs a. full knowledge of the proceedings of con.
gress, to have both, because, then il there should
be any ambiguity in the SYNOPSIS of the speech
-eT any denial Of its correctness as published IN
the Congressional Globe, the reader may turn 4
the Appendix to see the speech at length, cor
reeted by the member himself
Now, there is no source but the CongressiOD
al Globe and Appendix, from which a person
can obtain a full history of the proceedings o
Congress. Gales and Seaton's Register of De
bates, which contained history, was suspended
in the year 1887, and has not yet been resumed,
