PROSPECTUS
OF THE
Globe and ADDen(lix.

THESE works have such wide circulation. and
have been SO universally approved and sought after
by the public, that deem it necessary only in this
prospectus to say that they will be continued at the
next session Of Congress and to state, succnctly
their contents, the form in which they will be print
ed, and the prices for them.
The Congressional Globe is made up of tie daily
proceedings of the two houses of Congress- Tic
speeches of the members are condensed to bring
them into a 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. II is printed with small type-brevier
and nonpareil on double royal sheet in quarto
form; each number containing l6 royal quarto pa
ges. 1t is printed fast as the business done in
Congress furnishes matter enough for one number.
The fist four weeks of session usually furnishes
matter enough for one number week and the bal
Of the session enough for two or three numbers

be long one and will furnish matter enough, VIC
suppose for fifty or sixty numbers
The Appendix is made up OF the Presidents on.

the Government that accompany it, and all the long
speeches Of members of Congress- written out or re-
vised by themselves It is 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 n sees-
ion, as there are numbers ofthe Congressional Globe
because the members are slow in writing out their
speeches: but towards the close of a session, the
numbers are published more frequently than the
Congressional Globe.
Each Of these works is complete in itself; but it
is necessary for every subscriber who desires full
knowledge of the proceedings Of Congress, TO have
both because then, ifthere be any ambiguity in the
synopsis Of the speech. any denial Of its correct
ness as published in the Congressional 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 Oh

times as much for a session as the Congressional

amount Of matter great portion of the current pros
ceedings being admitted.
Complete indexes to both the Congressional Globe
and the Appendix are printed at the close of each
session. and sent to all subscribers for them.
