PR OSPECTUS
THE GLORE-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 ikis hoped will
continue, and enable me to perpetuete the full
history Of the proceedings and discussions of the
body on which the destiny of the Republic de-
ponds.
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
| years, and by members of all parties. The press,
too Of all parties has borne testimony to the fdel
| ity with which the duty thus con6ded has been
| performed. The annexed notices, taken at run
dom from the general expression in favor Of the
work. submitted in proof OF Its fullness, fair
ness, and usefulness. | am compelled to omit,
for want of room, page of notices which are III
| type.
The great celebrity with which the letter-wrters
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-
cREssIoNAL GLosE, The hasty, and in many
instances er partf, 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 imperfeeti0ns
and variety of colorings, take the of the coun-
W.
publishes the full debate with the proceedings of
| both Houses unmutiated. 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
tiers the eager appetite ofthe public for Congress
news, and meets the necessities OF the political
press, by furnishing a rapidly-written epitome
suited to the taste of its patrons, perfect lnforma-
ton Of what passes in Congress ls greatly dlmin-
ished The circulation Of the official reports has
been, to some extent, cut Of by the CRUDE and
diversified accounts which, flying along the electric
w.res satisfies curiosity, and 1t Is almost IN VAIN
that truth puts on his boots to follow Still there
are great many men of eisure and thought who
like to see wi at il actually said and done in Con-
gress, and Judge for themselves, rather than to
receive Impressions altogether from gavanic bat
teries. There are others, too, who, for the sake
of the future, willingly patronlze work which
preserves full record OF the dolngs OF The great
moving and controlling power of the Republic.
The undersigned has made preparations COM
mensurnte 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 SEES
sion will probably be extended nine months, and
the reports will not be comprised IN less than $500
royal quarto pages of BREWER and nonpare type
making 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 AprEsDIx for the next SEES
sion all laws that may be passed during the SEES
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 that it has been for several years
past
The DAILY GLOBE will be published during the
session on a superhne double royal sheet. IL will
contain the debates taken down by the report
ers and as sltered by the speakers, whenever they
make any alterations; the current news Of the
day and misc elaneous matter. The main object
for publishing the daily paper is, to enable Mem
bers their remarks in 1t, and alter them fthey
ST. all think proper before they published in the
CoNGREssioHAL GLOBE md APPENDIX.
The CoseR, ss'oSAL GLOBE is made up Of the
daily proceedings of the two Houses Of Congress,
n,d printed double royal paper, with small
type, (brevier and nonpsrell,) IN qusrto 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 Ar
pENprx. All resolutions, motions, and other pro- |
ceedings, are given in the form Of the Journals,
with the yeas and nays on every important ques-
ton.
The APPENDIX il 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. 1t is printed in the
same form as the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE, and |
usually makes about the same number OF pages |
during a SEES ion.
During the first month or six weeks Of a SEES |
sion, there is rarely more business done than will
make two numbers a week-one Of the CoNeREs- |
sIogAL GLoBK and one Of the APPENDIX but dur !
ing the remainder Of session, there is usually |
sufficient matter for two three numbers Of each
every week. The next session will be unusually !
interesting therefore, we calculate that the Cow
eRrssoNAL GLoBE and APrysDrx together will |
make at least $500 large quarto pages, printed in
small type--brevicr and nonpareIl. We furnish |
complete Indexes to both at the end OF session. |
We will endeavor to print sufficient number
surplus copies to supply all that may be miscarried
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.
If subscribers shall not be satisfied with the
work, the money paid by them for 1t 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 CoNeREsuoNAL GLoBE or the APPENDIX, and
will thank any person who viii let me have them
have few copies of the back volumes OF the
Co vcRyss,oNAL GLoBE and APPENDIX for sale at
So volume bound, which it is probable will be
disposed Of soon and when they are, they will
then, no doubt, command at least $40 a volume,
as they cannon be printed TOT iess thhn tnat sum-
There are 25 back volumes.
