PROSPECTUS on THE CONGRESS
SIGNAL GLOBE e. APPENDIX.

SlONAL OLObE q AffENDlA
These works have such wide circula
ton, and have been 50 universally ap-
proved and sought after by the public, thai
we deem il necessary only in this pros
pectus TO say that they will be continued
al the next session Of Congress, and tC
state, succincily, their contents, the form
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 mem
beers are condensed to bring them into o
readable length. All the resolutions, Of
fered, 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--breyler and
noppariel-on a double royal sheet, 10
ouarto form, each number containing 10
royal quarto pages.
The Appendix is made up Of the Presl-
dents annual 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. It is printed IN
the same form as the Congressional
Globe, and usually makes about the same
number of pages.
Now there is no source but the Con-
gressional Globe and Appendix from
which person can obtain full history
of the proceedings Of Congress. 1t is
now recognized, by resolution, as the au-
thentic report of proceedings, the earlier
volumes having been purchased for the
use of members, and for the Congression-
al library. Gales s. Seaton's Register OF
Debates, which contained history, was
suspended in the year 1887, and has no,
since been resumed. 1t cost about five
times as much for session as the Con.
gressional Globe and Appendix, and did
not contain an equal amount Of matter, o
great portion Of the current proceedings
being omitted.
Complete indexes to both the Congress
sional Globe and the Appendix are print
ed at the close Of each session, and sen
to all subscribers. for them.
The reports of the Congressional GLOBE
and Appendix are not in the least degree
affected by the party bias of the editors
They are given precisely as written GU
by the reporters and the members them
selves, and are subject to the revision
and correction of the speakers.

Of the Globe TO make greater and bette
preparation than heretofore for reporting
and publishing the speeches and proceed
ings Of the next session.
All persons who may desire either, o.

D them by the 10th of December, else they
may fail to get them. People are still
