PROSPECTUS FOR THE CONGRESS
IONAL GLOBE AND APPENDIX.

we deem it necessary only in this prospec-
tus TO say, that they will be continued al
the next session Of Congress; and 10
state succinctIy their contents, the form in
which they will be printed, and the prices
fro them.
The Congressional Globe is maGc up of
tho daily proceedings Of the two Houses Of
Congress. The speeches Of the members
are condensed. TO bring them into a reada-
bic length. All the resout Gus offered, or
motions made, are given in the movers
own words; and the yeas and nays on all
the important questions. Ii is printed with
small type--brevier and nonpareil-on e
double royal sheet, in quarto form; each
number containing l6 royal quarto pages.
II is printed as fast as the business done in
Congress furnishes matter enough for a
number. The first four weeks of a session
usually furnish matter enough for one num-
Der week; and the balance of The session
enough for two or three numbers week.
The approaching session OF Congress will
be a long one, and will furnish matter
enough, we suppose, for fifty or sixty num-
bers.
Tho Appendix is made up of the Presi-
dents annual message, The reports of the
principal officers Of government that ac-
company il, and all the long speeches Of
members OF Congress, written out or revi.
sed By themselves. 1t is printed in the
same form as the Congressional Globe, d
usually makes about the same number Of =.
pages. There are not so many numbers
published, the first weeks Of the session.
IS there are numbers Of the Congression- 7
Il Globe, because the members are slow 10 d
writing out their speeches; but, towards ="
he close OF session, The numbers are y
more frequently than The Con- .
ressional Globe.
Each of these works is complete in it. p
Els but il is necessary for every subscri- r'
err who desires a full knowledge of the P'
Of Congress, TO have 10th '"
,cause, then, if there should lie any am. '"
guilty in the synopsis of the speech, or pa
~ denial of its correctness, as published
the Congressional Globe, the reader
ny turn To The Appendix to see the speech co
length, corrected by the momber him.
Now, there is no source but the Con- wi
'ssIonal Globe and Appendix, from 81
ich person can obtain full history of nur
proceedings of Congress. GALES g.
