NEW SERIES OF THE
CONGR ESSSlOGAL GLOBE
AND APPENDIX.
TO be sTERoTyPED.


THE undersigned originated the mode ofournaliz-
i ing the proceedings of Congress, which presen-
tel them entire. Their publ alton was the first and
only one that gave each successive step in every
measure in both branches Of Congress brief Of all
the debates; every important vote; and an Appen-
dix, including at full length all the revised speeches
delivered during the session. The work thus con-
dcted by thef.- most perfect political history.
The Senators from m. S.als and The Representatives
from every section of he ulies.4rng with them into
Congress knowledge OF -. feelings. sentiments,
an interests ofthcr several Constituencies Public
opinion n public information, as it exists among
those they repre-, emf, embodied by them ana IN
the crucible OF Congress the wisdom OF orr tunes Is
brought To Is test, and is there concentrated, IN di-
recting political movements OF the whole country
The impulses thus ven through Congress from eve.
ry quarter reacts upon the nation as whoe, and all
its component parts are made TO move N co-orera-
to,. The press cannot lie more usefnIy employed
than in contlensng and again spreading abroad Inc
intelligence ofour free country, tending to such hap,
ply suits through our almost mrac,lous,y adjusted
State and National institutions.
Having identified ourselves with the plan of ad-
varcng The usefulness of Congsess ly publishing iul
and impartial reports, and having large mass The
Congressional GOle and Appendix, issued during the
last ten years, which would lie impaired in value to
and utility 10 the puh bic if the work dscOn-
timed we have a double motive to pr mpt US 10 ex.
tend through new series. We are res Olved II
possible 10 give il pertnanence, and 10 hand il down
to successors asa standard work, worthy OF being
undertaking without being di ,rac,ed or brdened
by any associate labors OF the press; and thus unen
C lmlered, shall hope TO make the new series IL step
in advance of he former in all points Of execution.
with view TO accomplish this, we shall he lone or
the olher) always in attendance in Congress-will
compare the manuscript Of our own reporters with
he daily reports of he city papers-correct all by orr
own observation AMI knowledge OF the proceedir &
and IN iml orani matters where that will not assure
us of the fidelity the reports, we will procure the
aid of the members Themselves, 10 obtain the exact
scope Of their remarks. The work. thus anthenlica-
ted, will be siereo yped, which Is guaranty that We
will make il As perfect possible for us to make 1t,
as we would not incur The expense Of stereo'yong y,
if we did not feel confident of its superiority over all
works f the kind which have leen or are likely to
I've published Stereo'yplng the work will enable us
TO supply lost or mu,ilated numbers, which we will
do, without making any charge for them.
The Congressional GIoe is made up Of the daily
proceedings of the two Houses Of Congress. The
speeches OF the members condensed, 10 bring them
into readable length All the resolutions offered, or
motions made, are given in the movers own words
and the yeas and nays all the important questions.
1t is printed with small tyre-lrcvier and nonpareil
ION double royal sheat, in qnar'o FORM each NUM-
Der containing sixteen royal quarto pa2es.
The Appendix is made up Of the Pres lenl's annual
ssage, the repor, OF the principal officers OF the
Government that accompany il and all the long
speeches ofnember> ofCongress, written out or re-
vlsed by themselves. Ii is. printed IN the same form
the Congre, siona Globe, and usually makes about
the same n.nlber of pages.
Weprint the numbers as fast as the proceeding OF
Congress furnish enough matter for number. Du-
ring the first month six weeks of session. there is
rarely more business done Than wi make num-
Der Of the Congre. sonal Globe and number OF
the Appendix week but during the remainder OF a
session there Is usually sufficient matter for two or
three numbers of each every week. The next ses-
sion will be long one, and il supposed will be I'M
usually IN ere. ting; therefore, we ca'cula'e that the
Congressional Globe and Appendix will each make
near one thousand large qnarto pages, printed IN
small type-brevier and nOnpareil. We furnish com
plee indexes TO both at the end of session.
We ha' on hand the Congressional Globe and
Appendix Tor the last twelve sessions of Congress, oil
which five were long and seven were short sessions
The Congressional Globe and Appendix for each ses-
SION are bound together IN excellent binding, with
Russia backs and corners. nrprices for them, thu.
bound together, are SO volume for short, and S.
volume for long session, making SAG for full sci
Those who want The back volumes should apply fol
them immediately as they are in demand The las
Congress subscribed for two hundred and twenty sis
sets and it is probable that the next will subscribe
for at least as many more, the proceedings Con-
gr>> for the last eight years he procured iron
any other source Gales Il Seaton having sioppe,
printing their Register Of Debates IN 1897. few
hundred copies of the first volume is all we have or
hand.
The next session Of Congress will he long one
and therefore, the Cong >ional Globe and Appen
dix should be 80 for the session, which is the pric
charge for the unbound numbers of the past lons
sessions but we have conclude 10 reduce The pric
