! The Congressional Globe is make up of the daily
proceedings of the two Houses of Congress, and print
ed on super6ne double royal paper, with small type
(brevier and nonpareil 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 speeches being reserved for
the Appendix All resolutions, motions and other
proceedings, are given in the form of the Journasf
with the yeas and nays on every important question.
Every member will have an opportunity to read his
remarks before they are put to press and after re-
port ifhe shall think it incorrect.
The Appendix is made up of the Presidents annual
message, the reports of the principal officers of the gov
ernment that accompany it, and all speeches Of mem
bers Of Congress, written out or revised by themselves

Globe, and usually makes about the same number of
pages during a session. F~r
Duripp the first month or six weeks of n session
there is rarely more business done than will make two
numbers week-one OF the Congressional Globe and
one of the Appendix; but during the remainder of a
session, there is usually sufficient matter 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 5000 large quarto pages, printed in
small type-brevler and nonpare. We furnish COM
pIetc indexes to both at the end of session.
We vii! endeavor to print sufficient number of sur
plus copies to supply all that may be miscarried, or
lost in the nails but subscribers should be very part-
cuar to file their papers carefully for fear we should
not be able to supply all the lost numbers

We have no surplus copies of the Appendix for that
