SIGNAL GLOBE d APPENDIX.
These works have such wide circula-

pecius TO say that they viii be continued
at the next session of Congress, and 10
state, succinctly, their contents, the form
in which they will be printed, and the
prices OF them.
The Congressional Globe is made up
of,he daily proceedings Of the two Houses
of Congress. The speeches Of the mem
bers arc condensed to bring them INTO
readable lengtIr 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. II 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 il, and all the long speeches
Of members of Congress, written out or
revised by themselves. 1t is printed in

number Of pages.

by tho reporters and tho members them

discuss for the American people all III,
most important questions ever en,ertainet
by the national councils, and now and OK
