The undersigned has made preparations COM

duty he has undertaken as the only reporter and
publisher Of the complete debates and proceedings
OF both Houses ot Congress. The coming ses-
sion viii probably be extended nine months, and
the reports wi not be comprised "a less than $500

umes, averaging ga royal qusrto pages each,
| will publish in the Arrrspix for the next 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 II has been for several years
past
The DALy Glour will be published during the
session on a superhne double royal sheet. II viii
contain the debates taken down by the report
ers, and as sered by the speakers, whenever they
make any attentions; the current news OF the
day, and miscellaneous matter. The main object
for publishing the daily paper Is, to enable Mem
beers 10 see their remarks ", and alter them they
shall think proper before they published IA the
CoNeREsaosAL GLoBa aud ArrEspix.
The CosenEssiosAL GLosE Is made mp Of the
daily proceedings Of the two Houses Of Congress,
and printed on a double royal paper, with small
type, (brever and nonpareil,) IN quarto form,
each number containing sixteen royal qusrto
pages The speeches OF the Members, IN this hrst
form, are sometime condensed-ihe full report OF
the prepared speeches being reserved for the Ar
rEsp,x All resolutions, motions, and other pro-
ceedings, are given in the form of the Journals,
with the yeas and nays on every important ques-
ton.
The APPENDIX is made up OF the Presidents
Annual Message, the Reports OF the principal
Officers Of the Government that accompany u, and
all Speeches Of Members Of Congress, written
out or revised by themselves. IL is printed in the
same form 6s the CosoREssIosAL GLoBr, 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 n week--one Of the CosonEs-
sIogAL 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-
enrsaosAL GLcBr and ArrrspIn together will
make at least $500 large quarto psees, printed IN
small type-brevier and nonpareh. We furnish
complete Indexes TO both at the end or session.
We will endeavor to print sufficient number
surplus copies 10 supply all that may be mscsried,
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 III.
work, the money paid by them for il will be re-
funded to them wheneverthey return the numbers
which have been received by them. will give
the subscription price for any previous volumes Of
the CoserrssIosAL GLorr or the ArrrsDiy. and
will thank any person who will Let me have them
1 have few copies Of the back volumes OF the
Co eRrsSoSAL GLoBr and APPENDIX for sale al
As a volume bound, which II IA 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 % back volumes.
