PROS ECT IS
FOR
THE GLOBE-THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWS.
PAPER

of my proposals and preparations 10 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.
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 hdel-
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 It's fullness, fair
ness, and usefulness, am compelled TO omit,
for want of room, page of notices which are ~
type. -, ,:., - ,.,,. ,;,.,.
for the distant press circulate through the teie-
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-
cREsslosAL GLOBE. The hasty, and in many
instances er pare, 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 imperfecuons
and variety chickering's, Jake 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 unmuiilated. 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 TO the eager appetite ofthe public for Congress
news, and meets the necessiues of the political
| press, by furnishing rapldy-written epitome
suited to the of its patrons, perfect informa
ton of what passes in Congress IL greatly dlmin-
ished The circulation Of the Official reports has
| been, to some extent, cut off by the crude and
| ~ ,,,h AL ulo cell rio
res, satisfies curiosity, and 1t is almost in vain
that truth puts on his boots to follow. Still there
| are great many men of leisure and thought who
hike to see W at is actually said and done IN Con-
gress and to Judge for themselves, rather than 10
receive Impressions altogether from galvanic bat
| teres. There are others, too, who, Tor the sake
| of the future, willingly patronize work which
oreservesa full record of the dolngs Of the great
moving and controlling power of the Republic.
The undersigned has made preparations COM
mensurare 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 be comprised in less than $500
| royal quartz 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 ApPEspix for the next
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 same that it has been for several years
past.
The DAILY GLOBE will be published during The
session on a superfne double roy ii sheet. 1t will
contain the debates as taken down by the report
ers and as sltered by the speakers, whenever they
make any alterations; the current news of the
day, and misce aneous matter. The main object
for publishing the daily paper Is, to enable Mem
bers TO see their remarks II, and alter them fthey
ST all think proper before they published in the
ConeREss,oHAL GLOBE end APPENDIX.
The CosoR. ss,osAL 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 nonparell,) 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-
PENpIx All resolutions, motions, and other pro-
ce.dngs, are given in the form of the Journals,
with the yeas and nays on every important cues
ton.
The APPENDIX is made up of the Presidents
Annual Message, the Reports Of the principal
Officers of the Government that accompany 1t, and
all Speeches of Members Of Congress, written
out or revised by themselves. IL is printed in the
same form as the CoNeREssonAL GLoBE, and
usually makes about the same number OF pages
during SEES ION.
During the first month or six weeks Of a SEES
sion there is rarely more business done than will
make two numbers week-one of the CoNGSEs-
SOCIAL GLOBE and one OF the APPENDIX; but dur
ing the remainder OF a 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 Con-
eRrssroNAL GLcBy and APPENDIX together will
make at least $500 large quarto pages, printed in
small type-brevier 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
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 CONGREGATIONAL GLoBE or the APPEHDIx, and
will thank any person who will let me have them.
have few copies OF the back volumes of the
Co >eREssioSAL GLoBE and ArPEsDIx for sale at

as they cannot be reprinted for less than that
There are 25 back volumes.
