PROSPECTUS OF THE CONGRESS
SIGNAL GLOBE & APPENDIX.

These works have such wide circula-
ton, and have been so universally APP
proved and sought after by the public, that
we deem it necessary only in this pros
pectus to say that they will 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
feted, or motions made, are given in the
movers own words; and the yeas and
nays on ali the important questions. 1t is
printed with small type--breyier and
nonpariel-on double royal sheet, in
quarto form, each number containing 10
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
lof members of Congress, written out or
revised by themselves. It is printed in
1 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. Ii 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 Compression.

times as much for session as the Con.

, great portion of the current proceedsAgs
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.
3 The reports Of the Congressional Glob,
Y and Append are not in the least degre,
j. affected by the party bias of the editors
They are given precisely as written GU

y The approach of Congress which vii
discuss for the American people all tn
most important questions ever entertaine
!. by the national councils, and new and ex
traordinary measures never before full
ventured upon, has induced the publisher
of the Globe TO make greater and bette
i preparation than heretofore for reportin
