debates before The public. The success which has
hitherto attended this undertaking 1t is hoped will
continue, and enable me TO perpetuete the full
history of the proceedings and d 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
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 confded has been
performed. The annexed notices, taken at ran
dom from the general expression IN favor OF the
work, are submitted in proof OF It's fulness, fair
ness, and usefulness. | am compelled to omit,
for want of room, page of notices which in
type.
The great CELEBRITY with which the letter writers
for the distant press circulate through the teie-
graph their hurried accounts and views of the
debates OF Congress, renders more important than
the full and exact official reports of the Cow
GREssioHAL GLOBE. The hasty, and in many
instances parte, relations by telegraph of what
occurs in Congress supersede, for the most part
the exact reports taken down bv reporters, and
winch formerly, IN shape more or less abbre-
Waited went the rounds OF the press. Now the
telegraph accounts, with all their imperfections
and variety chickering's, take the run of the coun-
try, and press but the official of Congress ever
both Houses unmurlated. 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 rapidly-written epitome
suited to the taste of its patrons, perfect informa
ton Of what passes in Congress is greatly dimin-
ished The circulation ofthe Official reports has
been, to some extent, cut off by the crude and
diversified accounts which, flying along the electric
w.res satisfies curiosity, and 1t is almost in vain
that truth puts his boots to follow. Still there
are great many men ofeIsure and thought who
like TO what is actually said and done in Con-
gress, and to judge for themselves, rather than to
receive Impressions altogether from galvanic bat
teries. There are others, too, who, for the sake
of the future, willingly paronlze work which
preserves full record of the dongs 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 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 $500
royal quarto pages of BREWER and nonpareil type
making volumes of 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 APPENDIX 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 stered by the speakers, whenever they
make any alterations; the current news of the
day, and miscellaneous matter. The main object
for publisng the daily paper is, to enable Mem
bers their remarks IN II, and alter them ifthey
shall think proper before they published in the
CoNGREssioNAL GLoBE and APPENDIX.
The CoNGRL ssioSAL 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 nonpareil,) 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 Ar
PENDix. All resolutions, motions, and other pro-
ceedings, are given in the form of the Journals,
with the yeas and nays on every important ques-
tion.
The APPENDIX is made up OF the President Is
Annual Message, the Reports of the principal
Officers of the Government that accompany II, and
all speeches VI bcHiDtIs VI NonSicfo, "titicH
out or revised by themselves. 1t is printed in the
same form Gs the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE, and
usually makes about the same number OF pages
during a session.
During the first month or six weeks of ses-
sion, there is rarely more business done than will
make two numbers a week--one Of the CoNcREs-
sIogAL GLOBE and one Of the APPENDIX but dur
ing the remainder of 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 Con-
eREssIoNAL GLcBE and APPENDIX together will
make at least $500 large quarto pages, printed in
small type--brevier and nonpare. We furnish
complete Indexes to both at the end OF session.
We will endeavor to print a sufficient number
surplus copies TO supply all that may be mscarried,
or lost in the mails but subscribers should be
very particular to he their papers carefully, for
fear that we should not be able 10 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 CONGRESSIONAL GLoBE or the APPENDIX, and
will thank any person who will let me have them.
| have few copies of the back volumes Of the
Co ~eREssioNAL GLOBE and APPENDIX for sale al

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.
