sought after by the public, that we deem il Lec
essarv only in this prospectus to say that they
will be continued at the next session OF Congress
and TO state, succnctly, their contents, tue form
in which they will be printed, and the price io'
them.
The Congressional Globe is made up Of the
daily proceedings Of the two Houses Of Congress
The speeches Of the members are condensed Il
bring them into a readable length. All the res
olutions offered, or motions made, are given II
the movers own words; and the yeas and nays
on all the important questions. 1t is printed
with small type BREWER and nOnparel-on q
double roval sheet, in quarto form, each number
containing l6 royal quarto pages.
The Appendix is made up Of the PresidenC'
annual message, the reports OF the principle OH
GERS Of the government that accompany IT, and
m the long speeches Of members OF Congress,
written out or revised by themselves. IL Is prln.
ted in the form as the Congressional Globe, and
USUALLY makes about the same number OF pages
Now there is ne source but the Congressional
Globe and Appendix from which a person can
obtain a full hisruRy of the proceedings Of Con-
gress. Ills now recognised by a'resoution as
the authentic report Of proceedings the earlier
volumes having been purcfased for the use oi
members, and for the Congressional library.
Gales and Seaton's Register Of Debates, which
contained history, was suspended in the year
1897 and has not since been resumed. 1t cost
about FIVE times as much for session as the Con-
gressonal Globe and Appendix, and did not con.
tain an equal amount Of matter, great portion
Of the current proceedings being omitted.
CampIete indexes to both the Congressional
C&Obe and tho appendix are printed at the close
Of each session, and sent to all Snhscribers for
then.
TRS reports of the Congressional Globe and
the Appendix are not in the least degree affect
ed by the party bias OF the editors They are
given precisely as written out by the reporters
aud the members themselves, and are subject to
the revision and correction Of the speakers.
The approach efa Congress which will discuss
for the Americas people all the most important
questions ever entertained by the national coun'
ellis. and new and extraordinary measures never
before fully ventured upon, has induced the pub
fishers of the Globe to make greater and better
preparation than heretofore 70 reporting and
publishing the speeches Bnd proceedings OF the
next session.
All persons who may desire either, or both of
these works, should subscribe for them by the 10
of December, else they may fail to get them.
Persons are still subscribing for the Congressional
Globe for the last session of Congress, and we
have not been able to furnish a complete copy
Of it since earlyin the session. We will send
the Congressional Globe (or the approaching ses-
sion TO any person who will return to US all the
numbers of it for the last session. We usually
print double as many copi5s ms we have subscri-
bers at the commencement of session, and then,
perhaps in few weeks they will all be exhaus-
led. We say again, that those who want the
Congressional Globe, or the ApPSDdix, must
subscribe and send The money for thUIn by the
10th of December, else they viii not probably
get them.
Persons subscribing for the Congressional
Globe, or the Appendix, should be careful to
name the State as well as the post office 10 which
they wish the paper sent, as there are many
pest Offices OF the same name in different States
Paris, for example. We received money
from Paris, in one Of the States, many years ago,
and we have not been able, up to this day, to
find out from what State It was sent; and the
person who sent il has lost his money. The rules
Of the General Post Office requires the postmGs-
!ers to endorse the name of !he State on every
letter, but many of them neglect to do it.
Every man in the country who desires to be
informed Of the public history or the public men
Of the country, should read the debates Of Con-
gress. Our foreign affhirs and the domestic con-
Germs of every section ofthe country pass under
review in Congress. The discussions embrace
men and things, present and past history; and
the best faculties and highest attainments are
directed to their elucidation. 1t is impossible
to be fitted for the political arena without an
knowledge of the annual Congressional
debates.
As some persons who may receive this pros
pectus may wish 70 subscribe for our regular pa
pers, through which zee speak, ws will here state
that we publish daily paper at $40; semi
weekly paper at S.; and a weekly paper, with
"A complete index to it, at So year, payable in
