PROSPECTUS OF THE CONGRESS
SIGNAL GLOBE 81 APPENDIX.

SIGNAL GLOBE 81 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
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
nonpariel-on a double royal sheet, in
: Iquarto form, each number containing Is
royal quarso 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
Eof members of Congress, written out or
r revised by themselves. 1t is printed in
the same form as the Congressional
Globe, and usually makes about the same
!, number of pages.
a Now there is no source but the Con
e gressional Globe and Appendix from
e which person can obtain a full history
a of the proceedings of Congress. 1t is
|. now recognized, by resolution, as the au
thentic report of proceedings, the earlier
q volumes having been purchased for the
! use Of members, and for the Compression
> al library. Gales g. Seaton's Register O
y Debates, which contained history, wa:
: suspended in the year 1887, and has no
since been resumed. It cost about five
times as much for session as the Con
gressional Globe and Appendix, and dic
IS not contain an equal amount of matter, {
y great portion of the current proceeding
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.
ngl The reports of the Congressional Glob
BY and Appendix are not in the least depre
is affected by the party bias of the editor.
of, They are given precisely as written OF
ID, by the reporters and the members them
IS selves, and are subject to the reyisio
Iu- and correction of the speakers.
by The approach of a Congress which wi
discuss for the American people all n
most important questions ever entertaine
ID. by the national councils, and new and E,
traordinary measures never before fnll
- ventured upon, has induced the publisbe,
of the Globe to make greater and bette
nst preparation than heretofore for renortin
ID, and publishing the speeches and procee,
or. ingS of the next session.
