New Series Of the Congressional Globe
and Appendix.
CONGRESS, lis last session, through the
~ 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 10 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
izng the proceedings Of Congress- which, thus adopt
ed is TO be perfected with the aid and under the
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
pendix, including at full length all the revised
speeches delivered during the session.
The work, a it 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 a knowledge of the feelings, senti-
mens, and interests Of their several constituencies
Public opinion and the public information, as It ex-
them; and in the cruclble of Congress the wisdom
OF times is brought to its test, and is there con-
centraed in directing the political movements OF the
whole country. The impulses thus given through
Congress from every quarter react upon the nation
a whole, and all its component parts are made to
move in cooperation. The press cannot be more
usefully employed than in condensing and again
spreading abroad the intelligence OF FREQ coun-
try, tending TO such happy results through cur al
most mlraculously adjusted State and national IN
situations.
Having identified ourselves with the plan of adj
yaucing the usefulness of Congress by publishing
full and impartial reports and having large mass

the work were discontinued we have a double mo-
tive to prompt us to extend it through new series.
We resolved if possible, to give it permanence,
and to hand it 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 labors
Of the PRESS and, thus unencumbered, shall hope to
make the series a step in advance Of the form

compish this we 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 are full and fair.
The Congressional Globe is made up of the daily
proceedings of the two houses Of Congress, and
printed superine 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 frst form, are COR
densedthe foil 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
nual message the reports OF the principal officers
~. ~ and oil
speeches of members of Congress, written out or
| revised by themselves. 1t is printed in the same
form as the Congressional Globe, and usually
makes about the same number of pages during a
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-
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, 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 session. a-...... ..." b."
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 in demand Congress
subscribed for BAL 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. '" ti9 '.

surplus copies to supply all that may be miscarried
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-
