NEW SERIES OF THE

TO DE sTEREoTypED,


The undersigned originated the mode
of Journalizing the proceedings Of Con,
gress, which presented them entire. TIER
publication was The fist and only one that
gave each successive step in every meas,
IRE in both branches of Congress; brlef
Of all the debates; every import ant vote;
and an Appendix, including at full length
all the revised speeches delivered during
the session The work thus conducted by
them is most perfect political history
The Senators Fl ON the States and the Rep.
resentatives from every section OF the un-
nion bring with them into Congress
knowledge of the feelings, sentiments, and
interests of their seveaal constituencies,
Public opinion and the public informa-
tion, as ii exists among those they repre-"
sent are embodied by them; and IN the
crucible Of Congress the wisdom OF our
times is brought to 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 upoh the nation as a
whole, and all its component parts are
made to move in cooperation. The press
cannot be more useful!y employed than in
condensing and again spreading abroad
the intelligence of our free country, ten
ding 10 such happy results through our al.
most miracuously adjusted State and Ma
tioIal institutions.
Having identified ourselves with the
plan OF advancing the usefulness Of Con-
gress by publishing full and impartial re-
ports, and hav vng large mass of the Con-
gressional Globe and Appendix, issued du.

impaired in value 10 us and utility 10 the
public if the work were discontinued, we
have double motive to prompt us 10 tx-
tend it through new series. Weare re-
solved if possible TO give it permanence,
and 10 hand it down to SUCCESSORS as a
standard W, rk, worthy Of being maintains
ed and improved. We shall enter upon
our new undertaking without being dis.
tracted or bnrdened by any associate la
bors tf the press; and, thus unencumter-
cd, shall hope 10 make the new series a
step IN advance ofthe former in II points
of execution. With view TO accomplish
this, we thall be lone or the other) always
in attendance in Congress-will compare
the manuscript of our reporters with the
daily reports Of the city papers-correct
all by our own observation and owledge
of the proceedings; and in important mat.
ters, where that win not assure us of the
fidelity Of tie reports, we will procure the
aid of the members themselves, to obtain
the exact scope of their remarks. The
work, thus authenticated, will tie stereo-
typed, which is a guaranty hat we will
make 1t as perfect as it is possible for us
TO make it, as we would not incur the ex-
pense of stereolypiug it, il we did not feel
confident of its superiority over all works
of the kind which have ever been or are
likely to be published S,ereotyping the
work will enable US to supply los, or mu-
tilated numbers, which we will DO, without
making any charge for them.
The Congressional Globe is made up of
the daily proceedings of th e two Houses
of Congress. The peeches of the mems
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 nay S
on all the important questions. 1t is prin
ted with small typc-brevier and nonra-
reil--on double royal sheet, in quaIto
form, each number containing sixteen roy
al quarto pages.
The Appendix is made up Of the Presi-
dents annual message, the reports of the
principal officers of the Government thai
accompany il, 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 make the same number of
pages.
We print the numbers as fast as the pro-
ceedings of Congress furnish enough mat
f1r a. .l
or six weeks Of session, there Is rarely
more business done than will make one
number oil the Congressional Globe and
one number of the Appendix week; but
during the remainder of session there is
usually sufficient matter for two or three
numbeis'of each every week. The next
session will be long one, and IL is suppo-
sed will te unusually interesting; there
fore, we calculate that the Congressional
Globe and Appendix will each make near
one thousand large quarto pages, printed
10 small type-bregier and nonpareil -
We furnish complete indexes 10 both al
the end of the session.
We have on haud the Congressional
Globe and Appendix for the last twelve
sessions of Congress, of which FIVE were
long and seven were short sessions. The
Congressional Globe and Appendix for
each session are bound together in excel,
lent binding, with Russia backs and cor,
ners. Our prices for them, thus bound
together, are So volume for short, and
50 volume for long session, making SAG
for full set. Those who want the back
volumes should apply for them Immediate
ly, as they are in demand. Tie last Con
gress subscribed for two hundred and
twenty-six sets; and it is probable that
the next will subscribe for at least as ma
ny more, as the proceedings of Congress
for the last eight years cannot be procu-
red from any other source, Gales 81 Sea
ton having stopped printing their Regis
ter of Debates in 1887. A 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 Copgression-
al Globe and Appendix should be So for
