PROSPECTUS FOR .rHE GLOBE
THE CONGREssIONAL NEWSPAPER.
rVyHE APPROACH OF CONGRESS calls for h

THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWSPAPER.
V>HE APPROACH OF CONGRESS calls for the
Il renewal of my proposals and preparations 10
spread its debates before the public. The success
which has hitherto attended this undertaking 1t 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 at every successive session for many years,
and by members of all parties. The press, too, oi
ali parties, has borne testimony to the hdehty WIN
which the duty thus oonfded has been performed
The great ceerty 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 eI paTle,
relations by telegap ph of what occurs in Congress
supersede, for the most part the exact reports Ia
ken down by I>!s.rters, and which formerly, IN
shape more or less abbreviated, went the ROUNDS
Of the press. Now the telegraph accounts, with an
their imperfections and variety oil colorings take
the of the country, and no press but the ofcla
of Congress publishes the full debate with
the proceedings OF both Houses unmutilated. in-
deed, no newspaper give them, and have room
for advertisements and the miscellaneous matter
essential TO their existence. While, therefore, the
telegraph administers to the eager appetite oil the
public for Congress news, and meets the necessl
ties of the political press by furnishing rapidly
written eptome suited to the taste OF Its patrons
perfect information of what passes IN Congress is
greatly diminished. The circulation oi the oiheiai
reports has been, to some extent, cut OIL by the
crude and diversified accounts which, lying along
the electric wires, satisfies curiosity and 1t IS all
most in vain that tt nth puts on his boots to follow
Still there 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
gaivanc batteries. There others, too, who, for
the sake of the future, willingly patronizea work
uhi Tnll ord %
great moving and controlling power oil the ne
public.
The undersigned has made preparations com
mensurate with the increased Importance OF Inc
duty he has undcrta taken 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 ana tne
reports will not be comprised IN less than 3,ooo
royal quarto pages of BREWER and nonparcll type,
making volumes of near 900 pages each The
reports for the last long session made 3S96 royal
quarto pages, and were bound IN volumes, ave-
raging 974 royal quarto pages each.
l will publish in the APPENDIX for the next ses'
sion all laws that may be passed during the SEES
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 Clone will be published during the
session a superhne double royal sheet IL 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 for
publishing the daily paper Is to enable Members
to see their remarks in il, and alter them II they
shall think proper before they published In the
CoNGnEssIoNAL G LOBE and APPENDIX.
The CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE is made up oil the
daily proceedings OF the two Houses oil congress,
and printed 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 condenscd--the full report OF the
r.J chea heir
DIX All resolutions, motions, and other proceed
ings, are given in the form OF the Journals, win
rle yeas and nays on every important question
The APPENDIX ia made up OF the Presidents AM
nual Message, the Reports Of the principal Officers
of the Government that accompany IT, and all
Speeches of Members of Congress, written out OF
revised themselves. Ii is printed in the same form
rs the CONC REssIoNAL GLOBE, and usually makes
about the same number of pages during session.
During the first month or elk weeks OF sessioh
there is rarely more business done than VIII hlaKe
two numbers week--one of c CONGRESSIONAL
LOBE and one Of the APPENDIX; but during the re-
mainder of session there ID usually sufnclent
matter for two or three numbers OF each every
week The next session Will be unuaually interest,"
ing; therefore calculate that the CONGRESSIONAL
GLOBE and APPENDIX together will make at least
3 500 large quarto pages, printed in small type
BREWER and nonpareil. Complete Indexes to both
will be furnished at the end OF a session.
! will endeavor to print sufficient numper
of surplus copies to supply all that may be miscaf
ried or lost in the mails; but subscribers should
be very particular to file their papers careuliy' LOT
fear that | should not be able TO SUPPLY dh the
lost numbers. 80 ,
If subscribers shall not be sehsfed with the
work, the money paid by them Tor 1t Will be re-
funded to them whenever they return me numbers
which NAV have been received by them. l will
give subscribers the subscription price tor any OF
the previous volumes of tie CoNeREssIoNAL GLOBE
or the APPENDIX, cxcep- for the last session, and
will thank any person sho will let me have them
have a few copesof the back volumes of the
CoNcu rssIoNAI GLosE and APPENDIX for sale at
y < n volume boup1, which it is probable will be
J;snosed of soon and when they are, they will
then no doubt command at least s 10 volume,
az thew cannot 5e reprinted for less than that sum.
There are 25 Jack volumes
