OSPECTU S
FOR
The GLOBE-THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWS
PAPER

THE approach of Congress calls for the renewal
of my proposals and preparations to spread i's
debates before the public The success which has
hitherto attended this undertaking it is hoped will
continue, and enable me to perpetuste the full
history of the proceedings and discussions OF the
body on which the destiny of the Republic de-
pends.
The adoption Of Congress has given the GLOBE
an official character the reporter OF all that Is
said and done in the body This sanction has
been voted at every successive session for many
wears, and by members of ali parties. The press,
too of all parties has borne testimony to the hde-
ity with which the duty thus conhded has been
performed The annexed notices, taken at ran
dom from the general expression In favor or the
work, are submitted in proof of its fulness, fair
ness, and usefulness. am compelled to omit,
for want Of room, page Of notices which are IN
type
for the distant press circulate through the tele-
graph their hurried accounts and views OF the
debates Of Congress, renders more important than
ever the full and exact official reports OF the CON-
GREssIoNAL CLONE. The hasty, and IN many
instances er parte, relations by telegraph OF what
occurs in Congress supersede, for the most part,
the exact reports taken down by reporters, and
which formerly, in shape more or less abbre-
waited, went the rounds OF the press. NOW the
telegraph accounts, with all their imperfectlons
and variety Of colorngs take the run of the coun-
try and no press but the official of Congress ever
publishes the fun debate with the proceedings OF
| both Houses unmutilated. Indeed, no newspaper
| can give them, and have room for advertisements
and the miscellaneous matter essential to their ex-
istence. While, therefore, the telegraph admins
ters to the eager appetite ofthe public for Congress
news, and meets the necessities of the political
press, by furnishing rapldyrwritten epitome
suited to the taste of lta patrons, perfect lnforma-
ton of what passes in Congress is greatly dimin-
ished The circulation of the Official reports has
ltT hr q fha do and
diversified accounts which, flying along the electric
W, res, satisfies curiosity, and It is almost IN vain
that truth puts on his boots TO follow. Still there
are a great many men OF leisure and thought who
like to see W. is actually said and done IN Con-
gress, and to Judge for themselves, rather than TO
receive Impressions altogether from gavanic bat
teries. There others, too, who, for the sake
of the future, willingly patronze work which
preserves full record Of the doings of the great
moving and controlling power of the Republic.
The undersigned has made preparations COM
mensurate with the increased importance of the
duty he has undertaken as the only reporter and
publisher of the complete debates and proceedings
! OF both Houses of Congress. The coming ses-
| sion will probably be extended nine months, and
the reports will not be comprised IN less than 35OO
| royal quarto pages of BREWER and nonparei type
making 4 volumes Of near 900 pages each
| The reports for the last long session made 1896
royal quarto pages, and were bound IN four vol
umes, averaging 974 royal quarto pages each
will publish in the APPEHprx for the next ses-
sion all laws that may be passed during the ses-
sion, which has not been done heretofore. Al
though this will increase In no small degree the
expense Of the publication, the subscription price
will be the same that it has been for several years
past.
The DAILY GLOBE will be published during the
| session on a superfne double royal sheet. Ii will
| contain the debates taken down by the report
ers and as sltered by the speakers, whenever they
sl.x .E fh
day, and miscellaneous matter. The main object
for publisng the daily paper is, to enable Mem
bers to their remarks in IT, and alter them fthey
| shall think proper before they published in the
CosGREssIosAL GLOBE and ArPEsDIx.
The CosGRrssIosAL GLOBE is made up Of the
daily proceedings Of the two Houses Of Congress,
and printed on double royal paper, with small
type, (brevier and npnpare,) in quarto form,
each number containing sixteen royal quarto
pages The speeches Of the Members, in this first
! form, are sometime condensed--the full report Of
/ the prepared speeches being reserved for the AP-
PrNDrx. All resolutions, motions, and other pro-
! ceedlngs, are given IN the form of the Journals,
with the yeas and nays on every important ques-
ton.
The APPENDIX is made up Of the Presidents
/ Annual Message, the Reports Of the principal
Officers Of the Government that accompany II, and
all Speeches of Members Of Congress, written
out or revised by themselves. IL is printed IN the
same form ss the CoSGREssIoSAL GLoBE, and
usually makes about the same number OF pages
during session.
During the first month or six weeks Of a
sion, there is rarely more business done than will
| make two numbers a week-one OF the CoSoREs-
| sIossL GLOBE and one Of the ArPENpn but dur
ing 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 Cow
eRrsnosaL GLcBt and APPENDIX together will
make at least $500 large quarto psees, printed IN
| small type-brever and nonpareil. We furnish
| compete Indexes TO both at the end Of a session.
We will endeavor to PRINT sufficient number
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 numbers.
| II subscribers shall not be satisfied with the
work. the money paid by them for II will be re-
| funded to them whenever they return the numbers
which have been received by them. will give
the subscription price for any previous volumes OF
! the CoseRrsHoNAL GLoBE or the APPENDIX, and
will thank any person who will let me have them.

CoSeREsHoNAL GLoBE and APPENDIX for sale at

as they cannot be reprinted for less Than that
