NEW SERIES Or The
Congressional Globe and Appendix.


! CONGRESS at ils last session, through the JOINT
Library Committee Of the two Houses having
authorized large subscription for the CoSsREssIov.
Al dLoBE AND AfFENDiX: and the Senate, by refo
iuuon, having directed the mode Of preparing the
reports OF ~ proceeding. and authorized the Secre
laTy OF the Senate 10 contract with the undefs gn-
Cd stpuiatIng that the reports when written out
slal be subject 10 the revision Of the speakers, the
CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE AND APFENDIE il now offered
TO the public, not only authentic, hut a. an Of
htialfepOrt Ol,he proceedings OF Congress, madeun
der tbs eye, and published BY authority OF that body
! The undersigned originated the mode Of iournoI
lzng the proceedings OF Congress, which, thus a.
doped, is to be perfected with the aid and under the
supervision Of Congress. Their publication was
The hrst aud only one that gave each successive
step IN every measure in both branches OF Congress-
brief OF all the debates; every important voto
and an Appendix, including at fall length ell 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 Representative
from every section Of the Union bring with them
into Congress a knowledge Of the feelings, senti-
menIs, AMI interests of their several constituencies
Public opinion and the public information, as it ex-
lists among those they represent, are embodied by
Ihemi and in the crucbie OF Congress the wisdom
Of our times is brought to its test and is there con-
centrated, in directing the political movements oi
The whole country. The impulses thus given thro'
Congress from every quarter react upon the nation
as whole, and all its component parts are made 10
move in cooperation. The press cannot be more
useiuIly employed than in condensing and again
spreading abroad the intelligence OF our free coun-
try, tending to such happy results through our al
most nIiraculously adjusted State and National in
stitutions.
Having identified ourselves with the plan Of ad-
vancing the usefulness OF Congress BY publishing
full and impartial reports, and having large mass
Of the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE AND APPENDIX, issued
during the last twelve years, which would be i'm
paired in value to us and utility to the public il the
work were discontinued, we have a double motive
10 prompt us to extend it through a new SERIES
We are resolved if possible to give it permanence.
and to hand it down 10 successors as a standard
work, worthy Of being maintained and improved.
We shall enter upon our new undertaking without
being distracted or burdened by any associate la
qors of the press; and, thus unincumbered, shall
tope to make the new series step in advance OF
the former in all points of execution. With a view
to accomplish this we shall be Zone the other in
attendance 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.
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 nonpareL) in quarto form, each
number containing sixteen royal quarto pages
The speeches Of the members, in this first form, are
condensed-the full report OF the prepared speech
es being reserved for the Appendix. All resoln-
| liors, notions 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 it, and aIspee-
ches OF members OF Congress, written out or rev-
sed by themselves. 1t is printed in the same form
as the Congressional Globe, and usually makes a.
bout the same number Of pages during session,
| During the first month or six weeks of session,
there is rarely more business done than will make
two numbers a week-one of the Congressional
Globe and one of the Appendix; but during the re-
malnder OF a session, there is usually sufficient mat
Ter for two or three numbers of each every week
The next session will be unusually interesting;
therefore, we calculate that the Congressional Globe
and Appendix together will make near 1900 large
quarto 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, tot 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. Congresssub
scribed 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 1887. We will endea-
vor to print sufficient number Of surplus copies
to supply all that may be miscaTied, or lost in the
mails; but subscribers should be very particular to
file their papers carefully, for We fear that we
should not be able tosuppy ALL the lost numbers.
TERMs.-One copy of the Congressional Globe ST.
One copy of the Appendix u
Six copies of either, or part of both s.
The money may be remited by mail at our risk.
The safest and best way to remit is, 10 pay the a.
mount to the Postmaster where you reside and take
from HIM receipt, according to the following form:
"PosT OFFICE, --, 1874
"Receved from A. B. - dollars - cents,
for the Globe from which | have deducted one per
cent, and charged myself, in my account with the
General Post Office, with the balance The Post
master of Washington city will pay that balance to
Blair Rives, or to their order on the hack of this
receipt. - -, Postmaster"
The rules Of the General Post Office Department
authorize such receipts to be given, and paid here,
when the amount does not exceed $40. When it
exceeds $40, it is best to remit as much as possible
in bank notes, and The Posimaster's receipt for the
balance. The Posmaster's receipt should be sent
directed TO US, and NOT to the Postmaster in this
city, as some persons in the habit of doing. The
money should be here by the 9TH 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.
Proprie.ors of newspapers who copy this Pros
pectus, and send us one copy OF their paper con-
tanng it, marked around with pen, to direct our
attention TO it, shall have their names entered on
our books for one copy of the Congressional Globe
and Appendix during the session.
Our prices for these papers are so low that we
cannot afford to credit them out; therefore, per-
son need consume his time in writing for them un-
less he sends the money. BLAIR & RIVES,
