These works have such a wide cirrula
ton, and have been so universally ap.
proved and sought nfler BY the public, that
we deem II necessary only in this pros
pectus TO say that they viii be continued
al tho 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 the duly proceedings of the two Houses
Of Congress. The speeches of the MON.
bers are condensed to bring them INTO a
readable length. All the resolutions, Of
tered, or motions made, are given in the
movers own words; aud the yeas and
nays on all the important questions. ltis
printed with small type--brovier and
nonpariel-on double royal sheet, in
quarto form, each number containing lG
royal quarto pages.
The Appendix is made up Of the Pres.
dents annual message, the reports of the
principal officers Of the government that
accompany it, and all the long speeches
lot members of Congress, written out or
revised by themselves, # is printed in
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 a person can obtain full history
of the proceedings of Congress. It is
now recognized, by resolution, as the au
thenIic report of proceedings, the earlier
volumes having been purchased for the
use o.! members, and for the Compression.

Debates, which contained a history, was

The reports of the Congressional Globe
and Appendix are not in the least degree
affected by the party bias Of the editors.
They are given precisely as written out

discuss for the American people ali the
most important questions ever entertained
by the national conncils,.a new and ON.
iraordlnary measures never before fully

Of the Globe 10 make greater and better
preparation than heretofore for reporting
