T{NHE APPROACH OF CONGRESS calls for the
IL renewal Of my proposals and preparations to
spread its debates before the public. The success
which has hitherto attended this undertaking il is
hoped will continue, and enable me to perpetuate
the full history of the proceedings and discussions
OF the body on which the destiny OF the Republic
depends.
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 ut every successive session for many years,
aud by members of all parties. The press, too, OF
all parties, has borne testimony to the hdehty with
which the duty thus conhded has been performed.
The great celebrity with which the letter writers
for the distant press circulate through the telegraph
their hurried accounts and views of the debates OF
Congress, renders more important than ever the
full and exact official reports OF the CoNGREssioNAL
GLOBE The hasty, and in many instances er parte,
relations by telegraph OF what occurs in Congress
supersede for the most part, the exact reports ta
ken down by reporters, and which formerly, in a
shape more less abbreviated, went the rounds
of the press. Now the telegraph accounts, with all
their mperfections and variety OF colorings, take
the OF the country and press but the official
OF Congress ever publishes the fuli debate with
the proceedings of both Houses unmutilated. In
deed, no newspaper can give them, and have room
for advertisements and the miscellaneous matter
essential to their existence. While, therefore, the
telegraph administers TO the eager appetite Of the
public for Congress newg, and meets the neceasi-
ties Of the political press, by furnishing rapidly
written eptome suited to the taste of its patrons,
perfect information of what passes in Congress 10
greatly diminished. The circulation OF the official
reports has been, 10 extent cut of by the
crude and diversified accounts which, flying along
the electric wires, satisfies curiosity and it is al
most in vain that truth puts his boots to follow
Still there are great many men OF leisure and
thought who like to see what is actually said and
done in Congress, and to judge for themselves,
rather than to receive impressions altogether from
gayanic batteries. There others, too. who, for
the sake of the future, willingly patronizea a work
which preserves a full record Of the doings of the
great moving and controlling power OF the Re
public. 3fsle
The undersigned has made preparations com
mensuratc with the increased importance OF the
duty he has undertaken the only reporter and
publisher of the complete debates and proceedings
OF both Houses of Congress. The coming session
will probably be extended nine months, and the
reports will not be comprised in less than $500
royal quarto pages of BREWER and nonpareil type,
making volumes of near 900 pages each. The
reports for the last long session made 1886 royal
quarto pages, and were bound In volumes, ave-
raging 974 royal quarto pages each.
will publish in the APPENDIX TOR the next ses-
sion all laws that may be passed during the ses-
sion, which has not been done heretofore Although
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 a superfine double royal sheet. 1t will
contain the debates taken down by the report
ers and as altered by the speakers, whenever they
make any alterations; the current news OF the day,
and miscellaneous matter The main object Tor
TO their remarks in it, and alter them If they
shall think proper before they are published in the
CoNoREssIoNAL LOBE and APPENDIX.
The CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE is made up of the
daily proceedings of the two Houses of Congress,
and printed double royal paper, with small
type, (brevier and nonpareil,) in quaro form each
number containing sixteen royal quarto pages
The speeches of the Members, in this first form,
are sometimes conference.-the full report Of the
prepared speeches being reserved for the APPEN
DIX. All resolutions, motions. and other proceed
ings 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 Rcports of the principal officers
of the Government that accompany it, and all
Speeches of Members OF Congress, written out or
revised themselves. Ii ID printed in the same form
as the Conc REssIoNAL GLOBE, and usually makes
about the same number of pages during session.
During the fret month or six weeks Of session.
there is rarely more business done than will make
two numbers week-one of L CONGRESSIONAL
c LOBE and one of the APPENDIX; but during the re-
mainder of session there 10 usually sufficient
matter for two or three nunabers OF each every |
week The next session will be unusually interest
ing; thereforeI calculate that the CONGRESSIONAL
GLOBE and APPENDIX together will make at least
BREWER and nonpareif. Complete Indexes to both !
will be furnished at tbe end of session.
i will endeavor to print sufficient number |
of surplus copies to supply all that may be misoar-
ried, or lost in the mails; but subscribers should
be very particular to file their papers carefully for
fear that should not be able to supply all the |
lost numbers.
If subscribers shall not be Satisfied with the |
work, the money paid by them for it will be re- |
funded to them whenever they return the numbers |
which may have been received by them. i will |
give subscribers the subscription price for any of
the previous volumes of the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE |
or the APPENDIX, except for the last session, and
will thank any person who will let me have them.

CoNoREssIoNAL GLOBE and APPENDIX for sale at

they cannot be reprinted for less than that sum.
