CONGRESSIONAL Globe A Appendix.
~ Joint Library Committee Of the 100 houses,
having authorized large subscription for The Con-
gress'onal Globe and Appendix, and the Senate, by
resolution, having directed the mode Of preparing
the reports Of It's proceedings, and authorized The
Secretary OF the Senate to contract with the under
signed, stpulating that the reports when written out
shall be subject 10 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.
zing the proceedings Of Congress- which, thus adopt
ed, 10 to be perfected with the aid and under the STU
pervision OF Congress. Their publication was the
first and only that gave each successive step in
every measure in both branches of Congress brief
OF all the debates; every important vote; and an APP
pendlx, including at full length eli 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
senators from the States, and the representatives
from every section OF the Union bring with them
into Congress knowledge Of the feelings, sent-
ments, and interests Of their several constituencies
Public opinion and the public information, as II ex-
lists among those they represent, are Embodied by
them; and IN the cruclbe Of Congress the wisdom
OF our times Is brought TO its test, and Is there con-
cenrated, in directing tho political movements Of the
whole country. The impulses thus given through
Congress from every quarter react upon the nation
as whole, and all its component parts are made to
move in cooperation. The press cannot be more
useiully employed than in condensing and again
spreading abroad the intelligence Of our free eoun
try, tending 10 such happy results through our al
most mracuousy adjusted State and national in
stitutions.
Having identified ourselves with the plan Of adj
yaneing the usefulness OF Congress by publishing
full and impartial reports, and having large mass
Of the CONGRESSIONAL GLoBE AND ArPEspIx, is
sued during the last twelve years, which would be
impaired an value to US and utility TO the pubic II
the work were discontinued we have double mo-
tive to prompt to extend il through series.
We are resolved, il possible to give IL permanence,
and TO hand II down 10 successors standard
work, worthy Of being maintained and Improved.
We shall enter upon our undertaking without
being distracted burdened by any associate labors
of the PRESS and, thus uneneumbered, shall hope to
make the new series step in advance Of the form
in all points Of execution. With view to ac-
compish this, we shall be Zone o. 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 are full and fair. IN
The Congressional Globe is made up Of the daily
proceedings Of the two houses Of Congress, and
printed on superhne double royal paper, with small
type, (brever and nonpareil,) in quarto form, each
number containing sixteen royal quarto pages The
speeches Of the members, in this first form,
densed-the full report of the prepared speeches be-
ing reserved for the Appendix. All resolutions,
form Of the Journals, with the yeas and nays on
every important question.
The Appendix is made up of the Presidents an
nual message, the reports Of the principal officers
of the government that accompany it, and all
speeches Of members Of Congress, written out or
revised by themselves. IL is printed in the same
form the Congressional Globe, and usually
makes about the same number Of pages during
session.
During the first month or six weeks of session,
thpra 10 h,,ei ,lpfa han
| two numbers week-one Of the Congressional
Globe and one of the Appendix; but during the re-
mander of a session. there is usually sufficient mat
ter for two 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 $500 large
quarto pages, printed in small type-brevier and
nonparei We furnish complete indexes TO both at
the end of session.
We have on hand the Congressional Globe and
making together fifteen large royal ousto volumes,
which will sell, unbound, foi s4l; OF 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 during the two last
sessions. The proceedings Of Congress for the last
nine years cannot be procured from any other
source-Gaes & seaton having stopped printing
their Register of Debates in 1887. - .te.4
We will endeavor to print sufficient number Of
surplus copies to supply all that may be miscarried,
lost in the nails 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-

The money may be RENTED by mail at risk.
The safest and best way to remit is, to pay the
amount to the postmaster where you reside, ard
take from him receipt according to the following
form:
"Posr OFFICE, -, 1S4
"Received from B - dollars cents for
the Globe, from which have deducted per cent,
raj Post Office, with the balance. The postmaster
of Washington city will pay that balance to Blair d
Rves, their order the back of this receipt.
.. g." -, Postmaster"
| The rules of the General Post Office Department
authorize such receipts to be given, and paid here,
when the amount does not exceed SO. When II
exceeds sl0 il is best to remit as much as possible
in bank notes, and the postmasers receipt for the
balance. The postmaster's receipt should be sent
directed to and not to the postmaster of this city,
| as some persons in the habit of doing, The
| money should he here by the 7h of December, at
farthest to procure all the numbers If not here by
that time, we may not be able to furnish the first
numbers s# .'~sf
Proprietors of newspapers who copy this pros
pectus, and send one COPY of their paper contain
ing it, marked around with pom, to direct our at
tenton to it, shall have their entered on
books for one copy of the Congressional Globe and
Appendix during the session.
Our prices for these papers low that we
cannot afford to credit them out therefore, no per-
son need consume his time in writing for them nn'
