PROSPECTUS FOR TIE
Globe 81 Annendl

/
TENHESE works have such wide circulation
u. and have been so universally approved and
sought after by the public, that we deem u Tee
essary only in this prospectus to say that they
will be continued at the next session OF Congress
and TO state, succincty, their contents, the form
in which they will be printed, ana the price IoI
them.
The Congressional Globe is made UP of the
daily proceedings Of the two Houses OF Congress.
| The speeches of the members are condensed to
bring them into a readable length. All the res
olutions offered, 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 BREWER and nOnpareil-on
double royal sheet, in quarto form, each number
containing | 6 royal quarto pages.
| The Appendix is made up Of the Presidenp'
annual message, the reports ofthe principle Off
GERS Of the government that accompany It, and
all the long speeches of members OF Congress,
written out or revised by themselves. It's prin-
ted in the form as the Congressional Globe, and
USUALLY makes about the same number OF pages.
| Now there is no source but the Congressional
Globe and Appendix from which a person can
obtain full history of the proceedings Of Con-
gress. IL is nov eUUgnised Dy resolution as
the authentic report of proceedings the earlier
volumes having been purchased for the use oil
members, and for the Congressional library.
Gales aud Seaton's Register OF Debates, which
contained history, was suspended III the year
| 1887 and has not since been resumed. 1t cost
about FIVE times rs much for a session as the Con-
gressional Globe and Appendix, and did not con-
tain an equal amount of matter, great portion
Of the current proceedings being omitted.
Complete indexes TO both the Congressional
tGslale. and the appendix are printed at the close
all t,fNpa far
them. --@
The reports Of the Congressional osisLa and
the Appendix are not in the least degree affect-
ed by the party bias of the editors. They are
given precisely as written out by the reporters
and the members themselves, and are subject to
the revision and correction of the speakers.
The approach of Congress which will discuss
for the American people all the most important
questions ever entertained by the national coun~
| ellis, and new and extraordinary measures never
before fully ventured upon, has induced the pub
fishers of the Globe to make greater and better
preparation than heretofore 70 reporting and
publishing the speeches end proceedings Of the
next session.
AL persons who may desire either, or both of
these works should subscribe for them by the 10
OF December, else they may fail to get them.
Persons are still subscribing for the Congressional
Globe for the last session of Congress, and we
have not been able to furnish a complete copy
Of it since earlyin the session, We will send
the Congressional Globe Tor the approaching SEES
sion 10 any person who will return to US all the
numbers oft for the last session. We usually
print double as many copies rs we have subscri-
bers at the commencement OF a session. and then,
perhaps in a few weeks they will all be exhaus
ted. We say again, that those who want the
Congressional Globe, or the Appendix, must
subscribe and send The money for them by the
10th OF December, else they viii not probably
get them.
Persons subscribing for the Congressional
Globe, or the Appendix, should be careful to
name the State as well as the post office TO which
they wish the paper sent, as there are many
pest Offices OF the same name in different States |
Paris, for example. We received money
from Paris, 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 il has lost his money. The rules
Of the General Post Office requires the postmas-
ers 10 endorse the name of the State on every
etter, but many of them neglect to do it.
Every man in the country who desires to be
informed of the public history or the public men
Dt the country, should read the debates of Con-
sress Our foreign affairs and the domestic con-
Germs Of every section ofthe country pass under
review in Congress, The discussions embrace
men and things, present and past history; and
the best faculties and highest attanments are
directed to their elucldation. 1t is impossible
to be fitted for the political arena without an
intimate knowledge OF the annual Congressional
debates.
AS ONE persons who may receive this pros
pectus may wish TO subscribe for our regular pa
pers, through which zee speak, WIS will here state
that we publish daily paper at $40; a semi
weekly paper at S.; and a weekly paper, with
Il complete index to it, at So year, payable in
advance.
We publish our prospectus in tits form, so that |
our friends may interest themselves in obtaining
subscription for us, may cut it out and attach
if 1t were not that many postmas-
tiers charge letter postage on such. Persons OBJ
tanning subscribers for us may retain every sixth |
dollar they collect-that is, they may send 10 US
only So for six copies of either work, or for six
copies made up Of both (say for three copies Of

and one THE other.
