FOR THE CONGRESS
IONAL GLOBE AND APPENDIX. |
These works have such wide circulation, an
have been SO universally approved and sough |
after by the public, thatwe deem il neeessar
only in this prospectus to say that they will b
con tinued at the next session ofCongreas, and |
to state, ,succinctly, their contents, the form in
which they will be printed, and the price foI
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 OF
motion made, are given at length, in the mov-
er's own words; and the yeas and rays on all
the important questions. 1t is printed with
small type--brevier and nonpareil--on a double
royal sheet, in quarto form, each number con-
tatning I6 royal quarto pages. tits printed
as fast as the business done in Congress, furn.
ishes matter enough for a number. The first
lour weeks of session usually furnish mattor
enough for one numbera week and the balance
uf the session enough for two or three numbers
week. The coming session of Congress will
furnish matter enougtS we suppose, for twenty
Ave or thirty numbers.
The Appendix is made up of the Presidents
annual message, the reports Of the principal off,
GERS Of the Government that accompany Land
all the long speeches of members of Congress,
written out or revised by themselves. Il is
printed in the same form as the Congressional
Globe, and usually makes about the same num-
Der of pages. There are not so many numbers
published the first weeks of session, MS there
are numbers of the Congressional Globe, because
the members are slow in writingo out theirspeech-
es. But towards the close Of a session. the num-
bers are published moro frequently than the
Congressional Globe
Each Of these works is complete in itself;
but it is necessary for every subscriber who de-
sires a full knowledge of the proceedings of con-
gress to have both, because, then, ifthere 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 10
the Appendix TO see the speech at length, cor.
rected by the member himself as@
| Now, there is no source but the Congression-
al Globe and Appendix, from which a person
can obtain full history of the proceedings OF
Congress. Gales and Seaton's IRegister Of De
bates, (which contained history, was suspended
in the year 1887, and has not yet been resumed.
1t cost about FIVE times as much for a session
as the Congressional Globe and Appendix, and
did not contain ah equal amount of matter, a
great portion of the current proceedings being
omitted. The speeches Of both parties is pub
lished inthe Daily Globe, anf in the Congress.
ional Globe and Appsndix; other papers pub
llsh their OWN SIDE only. We are enabled to

by the party bias OF the editors. They are Civ
on precisely as written out by the Reporters and
the Members themselves. And the whole are
subject to the revision and correction Of the
speakers, as thev pass lin review in our daily
sheet, in case any misunderstanding or misrep-
resentation or their remarks should occur. We
