pRospEorus FOR "rHE GLOBE"


TIME 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
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 fidelity with
which the duty thus confided 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 sr 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
shape more or less abbreviated, went the rounds
of the press Now the telegraph accounts, with all
their imperfectons and variety OF coiorlngs, take
the Of the country, and press but the Official
of Congress publishes the full debate with
the proceedings of both Houses unmutllated- ln-.
deed, no newspaper can give them, ana nave 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 news, and meets the neceesi-
ties of the political press, by furnishing rapidly
written epitome suited to the taste OF its patrons,
perfect information of what passes In Congress IS
greatly diminished. The circulation oil the ofnclal
reports has been, to some extent, cut OIL Dy the
crude and diversified accounts which, Hylng along
the electric wires satisfies curiosity, and IT ls al
most in vain that truth puts on his boots to ioow
Still there great many men OF leisure and
thought who like to see what Is actually sald ana
done in Congress, and tojudge Tor themselves,
rather than to receive impressions altogether from
ealvanic batteries There others, too, who, Tor
the sake of the future, willingly patronize work
which preserves a full record OF the dolngs OF the
nd
public.
The undersigned has made preparations com
mensurate with the increased importance OF the
duty he has undertaken as the only reporter aho
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 o,ooo
royal quarto pages of BREWER and nonpareil type,
making volumes of near 900 pages each. The
reports for the last long session made $3.50 royal
quarto pages, and were bound IN A volumes, ave-
raging 974 royal quarto pages each
/ will publish in the APPENDIX for the next se5-
sion all laws that may be passed during the ses-
sion, which hasnot been done heretofore. Although
this will increase in no small degree the expense Oh
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 superiine double royal sheet. IL VIII
contain the debates as taken down by the report
ers and as altered by the speakers, Whenever they
make any alteratons; the current news of the day,
and miscellaneous matter The main object Tor
publishing the daily paper is to enable members
TO see their remarks in it, and alter them II they
shall think proper before they are published IN the
CoNGREssIoNAL GLoBE and APPENDIX.
The CoNGREssIoNAL GLOBE ID made up OF the
daily proceedings Of the two Houses OF congress,
and printed on u double royal paper, with small
type (brever and nonpareil,) in quarto form, each
number containing sixteen royal quarto pages
The speeches of the Members, in this first form,
are sometimes condensed-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 Preeidents An
nual Message the Reports of the principal Oilcers
of the Government that accompany it, and all
Speeches of Members Of Congress, written out or
revised themselves 1t ia printed in the same form
as the CoNoR EssIoNAL GLoBE and usually makes
about the same number of pages during a session.
During the first month or SIX weeks oil seseloI
there is rarely more business done than VIII nahe
tv,o numbers week-one OF & CoNGREssIoNAL
Con, -nd one of the APPENDIX; but during the re-
,nainder oe session there Is usually suthcient
matter for two or three numbers Oh each every
week The next ses' ION VIII De unusually inleIesp
inp: therefore calculate that the CoNGREssioNAL
GIonr and AprenpIx toeet,,.r will make at least
$500 large quarto pages, printe- a. Jansa ~ both
BREWER and nonpareil. Complete In eN'' " ''N
will be furnished at the end of session. ,hor
l will endeavor to print sufficient num- '0'
of surplus copies TO supply all that may be miscar
ricd, or lost in the mails but subscribers should
be very particular to file their papers carefully, for
fear that should not be able 10 supply az tne
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 may have been received by them. Will
give subscribers the subscription price for any OF
the previous volumes of the CONGRESSIONAL GLeBE
or the APPENDIX, except for the last session, and
will thank any person who will let me have them
have few copies of the back volumes OF the
CoNoREssIoNAL GLOBE and APPENDIX for sale at
s volume bound which it is probable will be
disposed of soon; and when they are, they will
then, no doubt, command at least $40 volume |
as they cannot be reprinted for less than that sum-
There are 25 back volumes.
