GLOBE AND APPENDIX

nst and only one that gave eacn successive step in
| every measure in both branches OF Congress
brieI of all the debates every Important vote and
an Appendix, including at full length all the revis-
ed speeches delivered during the session The
work thus conducted by them is most perfect po-
ltical history. The Senators from the states aad
the Representatives from every section of the Union
bring with them into Congress knowledge OF the
ee.ings, sentiments and interests OF their several
constituencies Pubic opinion, and the public IN
formation, as it exists among those they represent,
| are embodied by them and IN the cracble OF Con-
gress the wisdom of times is brought to It's test
and is there concentrated, in directing the political
movements OF the whole country. The Impulses
thus given through Congress from every quarter re-
act upon the nation as whole, and AL lLS compo-
nent parts made to move in cooperation. i he
press cannot be more tsefully employed than in
condensng and again spreading abr.a the inteili-
gence OF our free country, tending to such happy
| results through our almost miraculously adjusted
State and National institutions.
Having identified ourselves with the plan Of ad-
vancing the usefulness OF Congress by publishing
full and impartial reports, and having large mass
of the Con sressional Globe and Appendix, issued
during the last ten years, which would be impaired
in vaue to us and utility to the public if the work
were discontinued, we have a double motive to
prompt us to extend it through new series. We
are res olved, il possible to give it pcrmanence,
and to hand it down to successors as standard
work worthy Of being maintained and improved.
We shall enter upon our undertaking without
being distractedor burdenedby any associate labors
Of the press; and, thus unincumbcred, shall hope
to make the ser.es step in advance Of the
former in all points OF execution. With view to
accomplish this, we shall be Zone or the othcr) al
ways in attendance in Congress; will compare the
manuscripts OF our own reporters with the daily
reports OF the city papers; correct all by our own
observation andknowedge Of the proceedings a I'd
in all impo 'tant matters, where that viii not ass are
Of the fidelity Of the reports, we will procure the
aid Of the me- nbsrl Themselves TO OBJ am the exact
scope of their remarks. The work, thus aulhenti-
Gated, will be stereotyped which is guaranty that
we will make it as perfect is possible for us to
make it, as we would not incur the expense of ste
reotypng it if we did not feel confident of its supe
riorty over all works of the kind which have been
or are likely to be pub shed. Stereotyping the
work will enable us to supply lost or mutilated
numbers, which we will do without making any
charge for 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 readable length. All the resolutions
offered, or motions made, are given in the movers
.oHn words; and the yeas and nays on a the i'm
portant questions. 1t lis printed with small type
BREWER and nonpareil-on double royal sheet, in
1uarto form, each number containing sixteen roya
]larto pages. HE
The Appendix is made up of the Presidents an
aua message, the reports of the principal officers
Of the Government that accompany it, and al the
long speeches of members Of Congress, wctten Out
Or revised by themselves. is printed in the
iorn as the Congressional Globe, and usually makes
about the so ne number of pages.
We print the numbers as fast as the proceedings
of Congress furnish enough matter for number.
During the first month or six weeks OF session
there is rarely more business done than will make
one number of the Congressional Globe and one
number of the Appendix week; but during the
remainder of session there is usually sufficient
matter two or three numbers ofeach every week.
The next session will be long one, and it is sup
posed will be unusually interesting; therefore we
calculate that the Congressional Globe and APP
pendix will each make near one thousand large
quarto pages, printed in small type-brevier and
nonpareil. We furnish complete indexes to both
at the end Of session.
We have on hand the Congressional Globe and
Appendix for the last twelve sessions Of Congress,
Of which five were long and ssYea were short ses-
sioas. The Congressional Globe and Appendix
fos each session ara bound together in excellent
binding, with Russia backs and corners. Our pri-
ces for them, thus bound together, are - volume
for short, and S. volume for long sessi N, max
ing SAG for a full set. Those who want the back
volumes should apply for them Immediately, as they
IRE in demand The last Congress subscribed for
two hundred and yenty-six sets; and il is probable
that the next will subscribe for at least as many
more, as the proceedings Of Congress for the last
eight years cannot be procured from any other
source, Gales & Seaton having stopped printing
their Register of Debates in 1897. 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 Congressional Globe and Appen-
dix should be So for the session. which is the price
we charge for the unbound numbers Of the past
long sessions bat we have concluded to reduce the
price, folio as until the first day of next January
after which time the Congressional Globe and Ap-
pendix will each be SO for the session. and no de-
duction will be male on account Of tho number OF
copies taken.
For one copy Of the Congressional Globe 81 50
For one copy of the Appendix So
For four copies Of either, or part Of both 5 0J
For twenty five copies of either or part
or bot, 25 %
The money may be romitted by mail at our risk
1t should be here by the 7th Of December, al far
thest to procure all the numbers promptly.
Proprietors of ne eSspapers who copy this Pros
pectus, and send us one copy of their paper con-
tanning it, shall have Their ma mes entered on our
books for one copy Of the Congressional Globe and
Appendix d ring the session. .
Our prices for these papers are so low that we
cannot adorl to credit them out therefore no per-
,on need consume his time in writing for them and
not sending the money. BLAIR s. RIVES.
