in which they will be printed, and the
prices OF them.
The Congressional Globe is made up
of the daily proceedings of the two Houses
of Congress. The speeches of the men,
bers are condensed to bring them into n
readable length. All the resolutions, of.

movers own words; and the yeas and
nays on all the important questions. II is
printed with small type--breyier and
nonpariel--on double royal sheet, in
quarto form, each number containing 10
royal quarto pages.
The Appendix is made up of the Presi-

principal officers of the government that
accompany it, and all the long speeches
Of members Of Congress, written out or
revised by themselves. 1t is printed in
