NEW SERIES OF THE CONGRESS
SIGNAL GLOBE AND APPENDIX.
CONGRESS, at its last session, through
" the Joint Library Committee OF the Two houses,
having authorized large subscription for the Con.
gressional 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 STIMULATING that the reports when written out
shall be subject 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.
izing the proceedings Of Congress- which, thus adopt

peryison Of Congress. Their publication was the
first and only that gave each successive step ia
every measure In both branches OF Congress- brief
OF all the debates; every important vote; and ap

speeches delivered during the session. "a. .

senator's from the States, and the representatives

eentrated, in directing the political movements Of the
whole country. The impulses thus given through
Congress from every quarter react upon the nation
whole, and all lis component parts are made to
move in cooperation. The press cannot be more
usefuly employed than In condensing and again
spreading abroad the intelligence Of free coun-
Try, tending to such happy results through our al
most miraculously adjusted Stale and national IN
situations. ......

We are resolved II possible, 10 give II permanenoe,
and 10 hand Il down TO successors as STANDARD
work, worthy Of being maintained and improved.
We shall enter upon our new undertaking without
being distracted burdened by any associate labo
OF the press; and, thus unencumbered, shall hope

er in all points Of execution. With a view 10 ae-

tendance on Congress.
The reports will not be affected by our party bias
We believe every member Of Congress viii bear
witness that our reports are full and fair.
The Congressional Globe is made up Of the daily
proceedings Of the two houses Of Congress, and
type, (brevier and nonpareil) in quarto form, each
| number containing sixteen royal quarto pages The
speeches of the members in lhis first form, are
densed-the full report OF the prepared speeches be-
| ing reserved for the Appendix. All resolutions
motions, and other proceedings, are given in the
form Of the Journals, with the yeas and nays on
| every important question.
The Appendix is made up Of the Presidents an
nua message, the reports Of the principal officers
Of the government that accompany II, and all
speeches of members Of Congress, written out or
| revised by themselves. II 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 or six weeks of a session,
there is rarely more business done than will make
| two numbers a week-one Of the Congres siona
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 near 1900 large
\ quarco pages, printed in small type-brevier and
nonpareil. 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 Sal; 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 & Seaton having stopped printing
their Register of Debates in 1897.
We will endeavor to print sufficient number Of
surplus copies to supply all that may be mscarried,
or lost in the mails; but subscribers should be very
particular to file their papers carefully, for fear that
We should not be able to supply all the lost num-
bers. " r 20 .a
