Nov l7--3iaw3w
CONGRESSIONAL Globe IL Appendix,
~ Joint Library Committee Of the two houses
having authorized large subscription for the Con-
gfessional 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 supuating 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 an authentic, bu, 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.
lzing the proceedings Of Congress- which, thus adopt
ed, is 10 be perfected with the aid and under the SUI
perysion 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 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
senators from the States, and the representatives
from every section OF the Union bring with them
into Congress a knowledge OF the feelings, senti-
ments and interests Of their several constituencies
Public opinion and the public information, as il ex-
| lists among those they represent, imboded by
them and in the crucible Of Congress the wisdom
Of times is brought its test and is there con-
centrated in directing the political Of the
whole country. The impulses thus given through
Congress from every quarter react upon the natioo
| as whole, and all ts component parts are made
move in cooperation. The press cannot be more
usefully employed than in eondensng and again
spreading abroad the intelligence Of our free coun
Try, tending to such happy results through our al
most tremendously adjusted State and national in
| situations.
Having identified ourselves with the plan Of ad-
yancing the usefulness Of Congress by publishing
full and impartial reports, and having a large mass
Of the CONGRESSIONAL GLoBE AND ArpEspIr, is
sued during the last twelve years, which would be
impaired in value US and utility to the pubic il
the work were discontinued, we have double mo-
i've to prompt US TO extend IL through series.
We are resolved, II possible, TO give 1t permanence
and TO hand II down TO 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 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-
complish 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 viii 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, (breyier and nonpareil in auarto FORM each
number containing sixteen royal quarto pages. The
speeches OF the members, in this first form, are con-
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
nual message, the reports Of the principal officers
Of the government that accompany il, and all
speeches Of members Of Congress, written out or
revised by themselves. 1t is printed in the same
fOrm aa he al .lnha Al
makes about the same number Of pages durnga
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 Congress ional
Globe and one of the Appendix but during the re-
mainder 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 q 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 s56 Those
who want the back volumes should apply for them
Immediately, as they are in demand Congress
subscribed for BAL complete sets during the two last
sessions. The proceedings of Congress- for the last
niHe years cannot DC procured from any Otner
source-Gales & Seaton having stopped printing
their Register of Debates in 1887.
We will endeavor to print sufficient number Of
surplus copies to supply all that may be miscarred,
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.

The money may be RENTED by mail at our risk.
The safest and best way to remit is, to pay the
amount to the postmaster where you reside, and
take from him receipt, according to the following
form:
.... "Posr OFFICE, 1874.
Received from A B - dollars - cents for
the Globe, from which have deducted one per cent,
and charged myself in my account with the Gene
raj Post Office, with the balance. The postmaster
Of Washington city will pay that balance to Blair&
Rives, or to their order on the back Of this receipt
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 1t
exceeds $40, 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 us, and not to the postmaster of this city,
as some persons are in the habit of doing. The
money should be here by the 7th of December, at
arthest, to procure all the numbers If not here by
that time, we may not be able to furnish the first
numbers.
Proprietors of newspapers who copy this pros
pectus, and send us one copy of their paper contain
ing it, marked around with pen, to direct our al
tenon to it, shall have their entered on our
books for one copy of the Congressional Globe and
Appendix during the session. .'..@.
Our prices for these papers are 80 low that we
cannot afford to credit them out; therefore, no per-
son need consume his time in writing for them .un-
Tess ne sends the money. BLAIR Il RlVES.
