PROSPECTUS FOR 1.-THE GLOBE


TIME APPROACH OF CONGRESS calls for the
IL renewal Of my proposals and preparations TO
spread Its debates before the public. The success
which has hitherto attended this undertaking 1t 10
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, OF
all parties has borne testimony 10 the hdehty win
which the duty thus couiided has been performed.
The great CELEBRITY 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 CoNoREssioNAL
GLOBE. The hasty, and in many instances er Parte,
relations by telegraph Of what occurs IN Congress
supersede, for the most part the exact reports ta
ken down by reporters, and which formerly, In
shape more or less abbreviated, went the rounds
of the press Now the telegraph accounts, with all
their inperfectons and variety oil colorings, take
the run Of the country, and press but the Official
of Congress ever publishes the full debate with
the proceedings of both Houses unmutilated In
deed, newspaper can give them, and have room
for advertisements and the miscellaneous matter
essential 10 their existence. While, therefore, the
teegra ph administers to the eager appetite OF the
public for Congress news, and meets the necessl-
ties of the political press, by furnishing rapidly
written epome suited to the taste OF Its patrons,
perfect information Of what passes in Congress is
greatly diminished The circulation oil the official
reports has been, to some extent, cut oil by the
crude and diversified accounts which, lying along
the electric wires, satsfies curiosity and II ls al
most in vain that truth puts on his boots to follow
Still there great many men OF leisure and
thought who like to what is actually said and
done in Congress, and to judge for themselves,
rather than to receive impressions altogether from
galvanic batteries There are others, too, who, Tor
the sake of the future, willingly patronizea work
which preserves full record Of the dolngs OF the
Ill nt he 70
public.
The undersigned has made preparations com
mensurate with the increased Importance OF the
duty he has undertaken as the only reporter ana
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 3,5OO
royal quarto pages OF BREWER and nonpareil type,
making volumes of near 900 pages each. The
reports for the last long session made $3.50 royal
quarto pages, and were bound in a volumes, ave-
raging 974 royal quarto pages each.
will publish in the APPENDIX Tor the next ses-
sion all laws that may be passed during the ses-
sion which hasnot been done heretofore. Although
this will increase in no small degree the expense OF
the publication, the subscription price VIII be the
same that il has been for several years past
The DAILY GLOBE will be published during the
session on a superfne double royal sheet IL Will
contain the debates taken down by the report
ers and as altered by the speakers, whenever they
make any alerations the current news OF the day,
and miscellaneous matter The main object Tor
publishing the daily paper is to enable Members
to their remarks in it, and alter them II they
shall think proper before they are published IN the
CoNGR EssIoNAL GLOBE and APPENDIX
The CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE ID made up oil the
daily proceedings of the two Houses OF Congress,
and printed ON double royal paper, with small
type, (brevera and nonparei in quarto form, each
number containing sixteen royal quarto pages
The speeches of the Members, in this first form
are sometimes condensed-thc full report OF the
prepared speeches being reserved for the ArPEN-
n NM
Jugs, are given in the form OF the Journals, with
the yeas and nays on every important question:
The APPENDIX is made poi the PresioSn,s " 8 an 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 saline form
as the CoNGREssIoNaL GLOBE, and usually makes
about the same number of pages during session.
During the first month or SIX weeks OF a sessioi
there ia rarely more business done than VIII make
two n,1nbers week--onc of e CONGRESSIONAL
C,orE and one Of the APPENDIX; but during therc-
,sslinder 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 CONGRESSIONAL
GLOBE and APPENDIX together will make at least
500 large quarto pages, printed in small type
BREWER and nonpareil. Complete Indexes to both
will be furnished at the end of a session.
i will endcavor to print sufficient number
of surplus copies to supply all that may be miscar-
ried, or lost in the mails; but subscribers should
be very particular to file their papers carefully for
