.yEW. SERIES or THE
CON RESSION NAL GLOBE
AND APPENDIX.


YNHE undersigned originated the mode Of josr-
Il nslzing the proceedings Of Congress, which |
presented them entire. Their publication was the
hrst and only that gave each successive step 10
every measure in both branches of Congress "a
brief Of all the debates every important vote and
Appendix including al full length all the revis
ed speeches delivered during the session. The
work thus conducted by them is most perfect po-
liticsl history. The Senators from the State and
the Representatives from every section OF the onion
bring with them into Congress know ledge OF The
feelings sentiments, snd interests of their several
constituencies. Public opinion and the public in
formation, it exists among those they represent
are embodied ny them; and in the crucibe OF Con-
gre.s the wisdom OF times is brought 10 its test,
and is there concentrated IN directing the political
movements of the whole country. The impulses
thus given through Congress from every quarter
react upon ihe nation a whole, and all its com
ponent parts are made TO move in corporation -
The press cannot be more usefully employed thsn
IN condsnsing and again spreading abroad the in
ellIgence OF our free country. tending such hap
ny results through almost mraculously ADJUST
ed State and National institutions.
Having Identified ourselves with the plan OF adj
vaneing the usefulness of Congress by publishing
full and impartial reports, and having large mass
of the Congressional Globe and Appendix, issued
in value TO and utility to the public II the work
were discontinued, we have double motive TO
prompt US 10 extend il through a new series. We
are resolved if possible to give 1t permanence and
TO hand it down TO successors as standard work,
worthy OF being maintained and improved. We
shall enter upon our undertaking without be-
ing distracted OF burdened by any associate labors
of the press and, thus uneucumbefed. shall hope
to make the nav series step in advance ofthe
Co.. ira nf vi> IN.
accomplish this, shall be Zone o. the other) al
ways in attendance in Congress-we compare the
manuscript OF our own reporters with the daily re-
ports OF The city papers--correct all by our own
observation and knowledge Of the proceedings;
aud IN important matters, where that will not as
sure OF the fidelity of the reports, will pro-
the aid OF the members themselves, TO obtain
the exact scope Of their remarks. The work, thus
authenticated, will be stereotyped, which is guar
anty that will make it as perfect as ii is posi-.
bic for to make it, would not incur the
expenses of ypiog it, if did not feel
hdent Of It's superiority all works of the kind
which have been or are likely to be Published -
Stereoty ping the work will enable supply lost
or mutilated numbers, which we will do, without
making any charge for them.
The Congressional Globe is made up Of the dai-
ly proceedings Of the two Houses of Congress-
The speeches of the members condensed, to
DflnS tUem into u FtbubDe ieHStn. All tHe ftsOlu-
lions offered, motions made, are given in the
movers own words; and the yeas and nays on all
the important questions. II printed with small
type--brevier and nonpsre-on a double royal
sheet, in quarto form, each number containing six
teen royal quarto pages.
The Appendix is made up OF the Presidents
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 revised by themselves. II is printed in the
same form as the Congressional Globe, and usually
makes about the same number OF pages.
We print the numbers as fast the proceeding.
os Congress furnish enough matter for number.
During the FIRST month six weeks of session
there is rarely more business done than will make
one number of the Congressional Globe and one
number of the Appendix week; but during the
remainder OF session there is usually sufficient
matter for three numbers OF each every week.
The next session will be q long one and il is sup.
posed will be unusually interesting; therefore, we
calculate that the Congressional Globe and Appen-
dix will each make one thousand large quarto
pages, printed in small type--brevier and nonpa-
fe We furnish complete Indexes to both at the
end of a session.
We have on hand the Congressional Globe and
Appendix of the last twelve sessions of Congress
Of which five long and seven were short ses-
.ions. The Congressional Globe ard Appendix
for each session are bound together in excellent
binding. with Russia backs and corners Our pri-
ces for than, thus bound together, 50 volume
for short, and IS volume for a long session,
making SAC tot full set Those who want the
back volumes should apply for them Immediately,
they in demand. The last Congress sub
scrlhed for two hundred and twenty-slx sets: and
it is probable that the next will subscribe Cor at
least as many more, the proceedings of Con.
gress for the last eight years cannot be procured
from any other source, Gales a. Seaton having
stopped printing their Register OF Debates in 1887.
\ few hundred copies OF the FIRST volume is all we
have on hand.
The next session of Congress will be long one,
and, therefore, the Congressional Globe and APP
pendIx should be 81 for the session, which is the
price charge for the unbound numbers of the
past long sessions; but we have concluded to
dnce the price, follows, until the first day OF
next January, after which time the Congressional
Globe and Appendix will each be 81 for the ses-
sion, and 10 deduction will be made on account Of
the number of copies taken.
