Congressional Globe and appendix

sCriptlon tor the congressional Utooe u"'
appendir, and the Senate, by resolution,
having directed the mode of preparing
the reports Of its proceedings, and autho-
riZed the Secretary of the Senate TO con-
tract with the undersigned, stpulaling !
that the reports when written out shall be
subject TO the revision of the speaker, the
"Congress ional Globe and Appendix" IS
now offered to the public, not only as an
authentic, but as an o6ici report of the
procee ding of Congress, made under the
eve, and published under the authority OF
that body.
The undersigned originated the mode
of jourDalizing the proceedings of Cons
gress, which, thus adopted, is TO be per-
fec,ed with the aid and under the super
vision of Congress. Their publication
was the first and only one that gave each
successive step in every measure 10 oo'h
branches Of Congress-; briet OF all the
debates; every important vote; and an
Appendix, including at full length all the
revised speeches delivered during the ses-
sion.
The work, as 1t is now to be conducted
by them, will be found most perfect Po-
IIltical history. The Senators from the
States and the Representatives from eve
ry section Of the Union bring with them
Into Congress a knowledge OF the feelings
sentiments, aud interests OF their seVeraI
constituencies Public opinion and the
pnbic informatiun. as IL exists ahohs
,nose ,hey represent, are embodied bJ
,hem: and in the crucible of Congress
the wisdom of our times is brought to It's
test. and is there concentrated; IN direct
| e.. Mt n
couniry, The impulte thus given through
Congress from every quarter react upon
the nation as whole, and all its coinpo-
neni parts are made to move 10 co,opera-
ion. The Press cannot be more usein'il
employ ed than in Condensing and again
spreading abroad the intelligence OF our
free country, tending to such happy re-
suits through our almost miracnlonsly ad-
ius,ed State and National institutions.
Having identified ourselves with the
plan of advancing the usefulness OF Con
gress by publishing full aud impartial re-
ports, and having a large mass OF the
"Congressional Globe aud Appendix
issued during the last twelve years, which
would be impaired in value TO us and utll''
ty to the public if the work were dlscon-
timed we have double motive to
prompt us to extend it through new Sc
ries, We are resolved, if possible, to
give it permanence, and to hand II down
10 successors as a standard work, worthy
of being maintained and improved. We
shall enter upon our new nndertaklng
without being distracted or burdened by
any associate labors of the press; and, thtIs
unencumbered, shall hope to make the ne"
series in advance of the former IN all
points of execution. With view to ac
oomplsh this. we shall be Zone or the 9th
er) in attendance on Congress.
The reports will not be affected by our
party bias. We believe every memoer of
: Congress will hear witness that our re-
: ports are full and fair.
The Congressional Globe is made up OF
the daily proceedings of the two Houses
of Congress, and printed on superlne
double royal paper, with small type, bre-
vier and nonpareil,) in qnarto form, ca ch
number CON aiming sixteen royal qnarto
pages. The speeches OF the members, IN
this first form are coodensed-the full
report of the prepared speeches being
reserved for the Appendix, All resosn-
,ions, motions, and other proceedings,
are given in the form of the Journals,
with the yeas and nays on every lmpor'
tant question.
The Appendix is made up Of the Pre-
sdeut's Annual Message, the reports OF
the principal officers of the Government
that accompany it, aud all speeches OF
members of Congress, written out or res
vised by themselves. 1t is printed IN the
same form as the Congressional Glooe,an"
usually makes about the same number o|
pages during session.
During the first month or six weeks OF
a session, there is rarely more business
done than " i'll make two numbers week;
} one of the Congressional Globe anu one
of the Appendix; but during the remain
: der Of the session, there is usually sum
cient matter for two or three numbers
j each week. The next session will be unu'
sually interesting; therefore, we calculate
that the Congressional Globe and Appen
S dix tog ether will make near 1900 large
Quarto pages, printed in small iype-bre'
vier and nonpareil. We furnish compile e
b Indexes TO both at tie end OF session
We have on hand the Congresslona
{ Globe aud Appendix for the last hlteer
o sessions OF Cungtess, making together
t 6neen large royal quarto volumes, whicl
e with Russia backs aud corners, for 500
Those who want the back volumes shoule
apply for them Immediately, as they are
i in demand. Congress subscribed for "a
complete sets during the last two sessions
The proceedings OF Congress for the las
= nine years cannot be procured from an!
other source-Gales & Seaton having
stopped printing their Register OF De
bates in 1897.
We will endeavor to print suficien
$, number of surplus copies to supply all tina
NAV be miscarried, or lost in the mails
bat subscribers should be very particula
to file their papers carefully, for fear tha
we should not be able to supply all th
a lost numbers.
