PROSPECTUS FOR TIE CONGRESS
IONAL GLOBE AND APPENDIX.

lation, and have been so universally apprc
we'd and sought after by the public, tha
we deem il necessary only in this prospec
tus 10 say, that they will lie continued a
the next session of Congress; and I,
state succinctIy their eonrents, the form il
which they will be printed, and the price.
fro them.
The Congressional Globe is made I'D Of
TIE daily proceedings of the two Houses Of
Congress. The speeches of the members
are condensed, 10 bring them into reada-
bic length. All the resolutions offered or
motions made, are given in the movers
own words; and the yeas and nays on all
the important questions. 1t is printed with
small type--brevier and nonpareiI-on
double royal sheet, in quarto form; each
number containing l6 royal quarto pages.
1t is printed as fast as the business done in
Congress furnishes matter enough OR a
number. The first four weeks of 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 long one, ond viii furnish matter
enough, We suppose, for fifty or sixty num-
bers.
The Appendix is made up of the Presi-
dents annual message, the reports of the !
principal officers of government that ac-
company it, 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, a. q
usually makes about the same number of :,
pages. There are not so many numbers y
published, the first weeks of the session, y
as there are numbers of the Congression- +
al Globe, because the members are slow in a.
writing out their speeches; but, towards 81
the close OF session, the numbers are g.
published more frequently than the Con- .
gressional Globe.
Each OF these works is complete in it lo
sell; but it is necessary for every subscri- &c
Der who desires full knowledge of the ~
of Congress, to lave both; W. W;
