PROSPECTUS FOR arHE GLOBE"


THE coNGR EssIoHAL NEWSPAPER.
TINHE APPROACH OF CONGRESS calls for the
j. renewal of my proposals and preparations to
spread its debates before the public. The success
which has hitherto attended this undertaking it 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
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 10 the fidelity with
which the duty thus cenfided has been performed.
The great celerity 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 the CoNuREssIosAL
GLOBE. The hasty, and in many instances eI parte,
relations by telegraph of what occurs in Congress
supersede, for the most part, the exact reports tn-
ken down by reporters and which formerly, in
shape more less abbreviated went the rounds
of the press. Now the telegraph accounts, with all
their mperfectioks and variety of coloriugs, take
the of the country and no preBs bot the official
of Congress ever publishes the full debate with
the proceedings OF both Houses unmutilated. In
deed, no newspaper can give them, and have 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 necessi-
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 OF the official
reports has been, TO some extent, cut OIL by the
crude and diversified accounts which, flying along
the electric wires, satisfies curiosity, and 1t is al
most in vain that truth puts on bis boots to follow
Still there are a great many 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
galvanic batteries There arc others too, who, for
the sake of the future, willingly patronizea work
which preserves full record of the doings OF the
great moving and controlling power oil the Re-
public.
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 session
will probably be extended nine months and the
reports will not be comprised in less than $500
royal quarto pages of BREWER and nonparci type,
making volumes OF near 900 pages each. The
reports for the last long session made $50 royal
guarto pages, and were bound in volumes, ave-
raging 974 royal quarto pages each.
will publish in the APPENDIX for the next ses-
sicn all laws that may be passed during the ses-
sion, which hasnot been done heretofore Although
this will increase in 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 superfne double royal sheet. 1t will
contain the debates as taken down by the report
ers, and altered by the speakers, whenever they
make any alterations; the current news OF the day,
publishing the daily paper ia to enable Members
to see their remarks in it, and alter them If they
shal think proper before they are published in the
CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE and APPENDIX.
The CoNGR REssioNAL 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 sometimes conference.-the full report OF the
prepared speeches being reserved for the AfrEN-
DIX. All resolutions, motions, and other proceed
ings, arc given in the form of the Journals, with
the yeas and nays on every important qucstion.
The APPENDIX is made up OF the Presidents An
nual Message, the Reports of the principal Officers
of the Government that accompany it, and all
Speeches of Members of Congress, written out or
revised themselves. 1t is printed in the same form
as the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE, and usually makes
about the same number of pages during session.
During the first month or six weeks OF scssoi.
there is rarely more business done than will make
two numbers week-one Of CoNGREssIoNAL
GLOBE and one Of the APPENDIX; but during the re-
mander Of a session there is usually sufficient
matter for two or three numbers of each every
week The next session will be unusually interest
ing; therefore calculate that the CoNeREssIoNAL
GLoBR and APPENDIX together will make at least
$500 large quarto pages. printed in small type,
BREWER and nonparcil Complete Indexes to both
will be furnished at the end or session.
1 will cndeavor TO print sufficient number
of surpus 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
lear tnat i enOulu not De aDle 10 supply uH tnc
Lost numbers.
If subscribers shall not be satisfied with the
work, the money paid by them for it will be re-
funded TO them whenever they return the numbers
which may have been received by them. l will
give subscribers the subscription price for any of
the previous volumes of the CONGRESSIONAL GLoBE
or the APPENDIX, except for the last session, and
will thank any person who will lst me have them
have a few copies of the back volumes of the
CONGRESSIONAL LOBE and APPENDIX for sale at
S5 volume bound, which il Is probable will he
disposed of soon; and when they arc, they will
then, NO doubt, command at least $40 volume,
as they cannot be reprinted for less than that sum,
There 25 back volumes.
