CONGRESSIONAL Globe IL Appendix.
~ Joint Library Committee Of the two houses,
having authorized large subscription for the Con-
gressonSl Globe and Appendix, and the Senate, by
resolution, having directed the mode Of preparing
the reports Of its proceedings, and authorized the
Secretary of the Senate to contract with the under
signed snpulatlng that the reports when written out
shall be subject To the revision Of the speakers the
Congressional Globe and Appendix is now offered
TO the public, not only as an authentic, but as an
official report Of the proceedings Of Congress, made
under the eye, and published by authority Of the
body.
The undersigned originated the mode Of journal
iZng the proceedings Of Congress- which, thus adopt
ed lie to be perfected with the aid and under the SUI
Pervision Of Congress. Their publication was the
first and only that gave each successive step IN
every in both branches Of Congress; brief
of all the debatesi every important vote; and APP
pendIX, including at full length all the revised
speeches delivered during the session.
The work, as il is now to be conducted by them,
will be found most perfect political history. The
senator's from the States, and the representatives
from every section OF the Union bring with them
into Congress knowledge Of the feelings, senti-
mens, and interests Of their several constituencies.
Public opinion and the public information, as II ex.
Isis among those they represent, are imbodled by
Of times is brought to It's test, and is there
Centrated in directing the political movements Of the
whole country. The impulses thus given through
Congress from every quarter react upon the nation
as q whole, and all its component parts made to
move in cooperation. The press cannot be more
usefully employed than in condensng and again
spreading abroad the intelligence Of our free
try, tending to such happy results through our al
most mraculously adjusted State and national IN
stitutons.
Having identified ourselves with the plan Of ad-
varcing the usefulness Of Congress by publishing
full and impartial reports, and having large mass
Of the GoNGREssIoNAL GLOBE AND APFEsDIx, is
sued during the last twelve years, which would be
impaired IN value to us and utility to the public If
the work were discontinued, we have double mo-
tive to prompt US TO extend II through a new series
We resolved, if possible, to give il permanence
and to hand il down TO successors q standard
work, worthy Of being maintained and improved.
We shall enter upon our new undertaking without
being distracted burdened by any associate labors
of the press; and, thus unencumbered, shall hope to
make the new series step in advance of the form
er IN all points of execution. With a view TO ac-
compsh this, shall be Zone the other) in at
tendance on Congress.
The reports will not be affected by our party bias
We believe every member of Congress will bear
witness that our reports full and fair
The Congressional Globe is made up Of the daily
proceedings of the two houses Of Congress, and
printed on superfne double royal paper, with small
type, (brevier and nonpareil) in quarto form each
number containing sixteen royal quarto pages. The
speeches of the members, in this first form, are COR
densedthe full report of the prepared speeches be-
ing reserved for the Appendix. All resolutions,
motions, and other proceedings, arc given in the
form Of the Journals, with the yeas and nays
every important question.
The Appendix is made up of the Presidents
nual message, the reports OF the principal officers
of the government that accompany it, and all
/ pf nhpro nf writ pnf nr
revised by themselves. 1t is printed in the same
form as the Congressional Globe, and usually
makes about the same number of pages during
session.
During the first month six weeks of session,
there is rarely more business done than will make
two numbers a weck--one of the Congressional
Globe and one of the Appendix; but during the re-
mainder of session. there is usually sufficient mat
ter for two or three numbers Of each every week.
The next session will be unusually interesting;
therefore, calculate that the Congressional Globe
and Appendix together will make 1900 large
quarto pages, printed in small type-brevier and
nonpare We furnish complete indexes to both at
the end of a session.
We have on hand the Congressional Globe and
Appendix for the last fifteen sessions of Congress,
making together fifteen large royal quarto volumes,
which we will SELL unbound, for S4l; or bound,
with Russia backs and corners, for $50. Those
who want the back volumes should apply for them
Immediately, as they are in demand. Congress
subscribed for 34l complete sets during the two last
sessions. The proceedings Of Congress for the last
nine years cannot be procured from any other
source-Gales e. Seaton having stopped printing
their Register of Debates in 1887.
We will endeavor to print sufficient number o
surplus copies to supply all that may be nscarried,
or lost in the mails; but subscribers should be very
particular file their papers carefully, for eor that
we should not be able to supply all the lost num-
bers r. .'. |'
