NEW SERIES OF THE
CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE AND APPENDIX
no RE sTEREOTYpED.

publication was the first and only one that
gave each successive step in every mea
sure in both branches of Congress; a brief
of all the debates; every important vote;
and an Appendix, including at full length
all the revised speeches delivered during
the session. The work thus conducted by
them is most perfect political history
The Senators from the States and the Re-
representatives. from every section of The
Union bring with them into Congress, a
knowledge of the feelings, sentiments,
and interests of their several constituent
cies. Public opinion and the public in
formation, as it exists among those theA
represent, are embodied by them; and in
the crucible- of Congress the wisdom of
cur times is brought TO lis test, and is there
concentrated, in directing the political
movements of the whole country. The
impulses thus given through Congress from
every quarter react upon the nation as a
whole, and all IFS component parts made TO
move IN cooperation. The press cannot
be more usefully employed than in con-
densing and again spreading abroad the
intelligence of our free country, tending
to such happy results through our almost
mlraculously adjusted State and National
institutions.
Having identified ourselves with the
plan OF advancing the usefulness of Con-
gress by publishing full and impartial re,
ports, and having large mass of The Con-
gressional Globe and Appendix, issued
during the last ten years, which would be
impaired IN value to US and utility to the
public if the work were discontinued, we
have double motive to prompt us TO ex-
tend il through new series. We are re-
solved if possible, to give it permanence,
and to hand it down TO successors as a
standard work, worthy of being maintain
ed and improved. We shall enter upon
our new undertaking without being dis
tracted or burdened by any associate la
bors of the press; and, thus unencumbered,
shall hope to make the new series step
in advance of the former in all points oil
Execution.
/ With view TO accomplish this, we shall
be Zone or the other) always in attendance
in Congress-will compare the manuscript
of our own reporters with the daily re-.
ports OF the city papers-correct all by our
own observation and knowledge of the
proceedings; and in important matters,
where that will not assure us of the fdeli-
ty of the reports, we will procure the aid
! of the members themselves, TO obtain the
exact scope of their remarks. The work,
thus authenticated, will be stereotyped,
which is a guaranty that we will make it
as perfect as it is possible for US TO make
If 4ho e
siereotyping it, if we did not feel conf
dent Of its superiority over all works of
r the kind which have been or are likely to
be published. Stereoyping the work will
enable us TO supply lost or mutilated num-
bers, 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 mem
bers are condensed TO bring them into a
readable length. All the resolutions of
fered, er motions made, are given in the
movers own words; and The yeas and nays
on all the important questions. 1t is prn-
= ted with small type-brevier and nonpa-
reil--on a double royal sheet, in quarto
= form, each number containing sixteen roy
al quarto pages.
u The Appendix is made up of the Presi-
dents annual message, the reports of the
principal officers of the Government thai
accompany it, and all the long speeches
of members of Congress, written out oil
revised by themselves. 1t is printed it
n the same form as the Congressional Globe
and usually makes about the same mum
t Der of pages.
We print the numbers as fast as the
= proceedings of Congress furnish enough
/ matter for number. During the frs
month or six weeks Of a session, there i.
rarely more business done than will make
T one number of the Congressional Globe
and one numbr of the Appendix week
} but during the remainder of a session there
is usually sufficient matter for two or three
jumpers of each every week. The mex
session will be long one, and it is sup
posed will be unusually interesting; there
!. | fore, we calculate that the Congressiona
Globe and Appendix will each make neal
one thousand large quarto pages, printed
: in small type-breyier and nonpareiI.-
We furnish complete indexes to both a
the end of session.
: We have on hand the Congressiona
Globe and Appendix for the last twelve
]. sessions Of Congress, of which five were
!. long and seven were short sessions. The
Congressional Globe and Appendix fol
each session are bound together in excel
lent binding, with Russia backs and cor
ners. Our prices for them, thus bound to
gether, are So a volume for short, ant
!. rs volume for long session, making
SIS for a full set. Those who want the
/ back volumes should apply for them imme
diaialv as they are in demand. The las
