PROSPECTUS
OF THE
Globe and Appendix.

THESE works have such wide circulation end
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, succincly
their contents the form in which they will he print
ed, and the prices for them.
The Congressional Globe is made up of the daily
proceedings of the two houses of Congress. Tic
speeches of the members are condensed 10 bring
them into readable length. All the resolutions Of.
fered, motions made, are given in the movers own
words; and the yeas and nays on all the important
questions It's printed with small type-brevier
and nonpareil on double royal sheet in quar,o
form; each number containing l6 royal quarto pa
ges 1t is printed as fast as the business done in
Congress furnishes matter enough for one number.
The first four weeks of session usually furnishes
matter enough for one number week and the bal
ance Of the session enough for two or three numbers
week. The approaching session of Congress will
be long one, and will furnish matter enough, we
suppose for fifty or sixty numbers.
The Appendix is made up OF the Presidents an.
nuaI message, the reports Of the principal officers Of
the Government that accompany it, and all the long
speeches Of members of Congress- written out or re-
vised by themselves. II printed in The same form
as the Congressional Globe, and usually makes a.
bout the same number of pages. There are not So
many numbers published the first weeks of q sess-
ion, as there numbers ofthe Congressional Globe
because the members are slow in writing GU: 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; but il
is necessary for every subscriber who desires full
knowledge of the proceedings Of Congress. to have
both because then, fthere be any ambiguity in tho
synopsis of the speech, any denial OF its correct
ness, as published in the Congre Globe, the
reader may turn to the Appendix to see the speech
at length, corrected by the member himself
Now, there is no source but the Congressional
Globe and Appendix. from which person can OBJ
tain full history Of the proceedings Of Congress-
