nROSPECTUS OF THE CONGRES-
SIGNAL GLOBE & APPENDIX.

SIGNAL. GLOBE & APPENDIX.
These works have such wide circula-
ton, and have been so universally ap-
proved and sought after by the public, that
we deem it necessary only in this pros
pectus to say that they win be continued
at the next session of Congress, and to
state, succinctly, 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
bers are condensed to bring them into a
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--breyier and
noDpariel-on a double royal sheet, in
quarto form, each number containing l6
royal quarto pages.
The Appendix is made up of the Presi-
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. 1t 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 a 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 81 Seaton's Register of
| Debates, which contained history, was
suspended in the year 1887, and has not
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, a
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 sent
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 out
by the reporters ! the members them
selves, and are ject to the revision
and correction of the speakers.
The approach of a Congress which will
discuss for the American people all the
most important questions ever entertained
by the national councils, and new and ex-
traordinary measures never before fully
ventured upon, has induced the publishers
of the Globe to make greater aud better
preparation than heretofore for reporting
and publishing the speeches and proceed
ings Of the next session.
All persons who may desire either, OF
beth of these works, should subscribe for
them by the 10th of December, else they
may fail TO get them. People are still
subscribing for The Congressional Globe
for the last session of Congress, and we
have not been able 10 furnish q complete
copy of it since early in the session.
We viii send the Globe for the ap-
preaching session TO any person who will
return to US all the numbers of it for the
last session. We usually print double as
many copies as we have subscribers at the
commencement of a session, and then,
perhaps, in Il few weeks they will all be
exhausted. We say again, that those
who want the Congressional Globe, or the
Appendix, must subscribe and send thu
money for them 5y the 10Th of December
else they will not probably get them.
| Persons subscribing for the Congress,
sional Globe, or the Appendix, should be
careful to name the State, as well as the
post Office to which they wish the papel
, sent. as there are many post offices of tht
same name in different States-Paris, fol
example. We received money from Par
is, 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 it has lost hi
money. The rules of the General Pos
Office requires the post masters to endors,
, the name of the State on every letter, bu
many of them neglect to do it.
Every man in the country who desire
TO be informed of the public history or tn
public men of the country, should read tn,
debates Of Congress. Our foreign affair
and the domestic concerns of every sec
ton of the country pass under review il
Congress. The discussions embrace met
and things, present and past history; an,
the best faculties and highest attainment
are directed to their calculation. It i
: impossible to be fitted for The politica
arena without an intimate knowledge O
the annual Congressional debates.
