Congressional Globe and Appendix
ON Tile


scription for the Congregational Globe and
.4ppendir, 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, stipulating
that the reports len written out shall be
1subiect to the revision Of the speaker. the
"Congress onal Globe and Appendix" is
now offered to the public, not only as an
authentic, but as an official report of the
proceeding of Congress, made under the
eye, and published under the authority OF
that body. 4N4}ai
The undersigned originated the mode
of jourDalizing the proceedings of Con-
gress, which, thus adopted, is to be per-
fected 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 in both
branches Of Congress; brief of all the
debates; every important vote; and an
Appendix, including at full length all the
revised speeches delivered during the ses-
sion.
Tie work, as il is now TO be conducted
by them, will be found a most perfecI Po-
lltical history. The Senators from the
States and the Representatives from eve-
ry section of the Union bring with them
into Congress knowledge Of the fee!;:ss
sentiments, and interests Of their several
constituencies, Public opinion aud the
pnblic information, as IL exists among
those lhey represent, are embodied By
them; aud in the crucible of Congress
the wisdom of our times is brought to its
| ic 4 al tpU . / n N
ing the political movements of the whole
country. The impulse thus given through
Congress from every quarter react upon
the nation as a whole, and all its compu.
nent parts are made to move in co.opera-
ton. The Press cannot be more usefnlly
emplo ed than in condepsng and again
spreading abroad the intelligence of our
free country, tending to such happy re-
suits through our almost nIracu!oiIsly ad-
jus,ed State aud National institutions.
Having identified ourselves with the
plan of advancing the usefulness of Con
gress by publishing full and impartial
ports, aud having large n'uss Of the
"Cong ressional Globe aud Appendix
issued during the last twelve years, which
would be impaired in value to us and nlill
ty to the public if the work were discOn
timed, we have double motive to
prompt us to extend it through new Sc
ries. We are resolved, if possible, 10
give it permanence, and tD haud it down
to successors as standard work, worth, |
Of being maintained and improved. We
shall enter upon our new undertaking |
without being distracted or burdened b.
any associate Iabors of the press; and, thu
unencnmbered shall hope TO make the new
series in advance Of the former IN all |
points of execution. With a view to ac
complish this, We shall be ZONE or tie 9th
er) IN Attendance on Congress,
The reports will not be affected by eur
party bias. We believe every mem per ot
Congress will bear witness that our re-
ports are full and fair.
The Congress ional Globe is made up OF
the daily proceedings of the two Houses
Of Congress, and printed on snperfne
double royal paper, with small type, lbre
ver and nonpareiI.) in qnarlo form, eacD
number containing sixletD royal quart
pages. The speeches of the members, in
this first form are conference.-the full
report Of the prepared speeches being
reserved for the Appendix. All resolu
tions, motions, and ether proceedings,
are given 10 the form Of the Journals,
with the yeas and nays on every impor-
tant question. ........
The Appendix is made up of the Pre-
sident's Aunual Message, the reports OF
the principal officers of the Government
that accompany it, aud all speeches OF
members of Congress, written out or re-
vised by themselves. 1t is printed IN the
same form as tho Congressional Globe, ana
usually makes ahnni The same nun Der ol
pages during a session.
During the first month or six W ecks OF
a session, there is rarely more business
done than will make two numbers week:
one OF the Congressional Globe aud Que
of the Appendix; bat during the remain
der of the session, there is usually suti
cient matter for two or three numbers
each week. The next session will be unu-
suaily interesting; therefore, we calculate
that the Congressional GLOBE and Appen |
dix ogeiher will make near 1900 large
quarto pages, printed in small type--bre>
yier and nonPareil. We furnish complete
Indexes to both at tie end of a session,
We have on hand the Congressman
Globe and Appendix tor 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 81
complete sets during the last two sessions.
The proceedings of Congress for the last
nine years cannot be procured from any
other source--Gales 81 Seaton having
stopped printing their Register of De-
bates in 1887.
We will endeayor to print a sufficient
number ofsurplus copies to supply all that
may be miscarrled, or lost in the mails;
bat subscribers should be very particular
to file their papers carefully, for fear that
we should not be able TO supply all the
lost numbers.
