history Of the proceedings and discussions of the
body on which the destiny of the Republic de-
ponds.
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 del
ity with which the duty thus con6ded has been
performed. The annexed notices, taken at ran
dom from the general expression in favor Of the
work, submitted in proof of its fullness, fair
ness, and usefulness. am compelled to omit,
for want of room, page of notices which are in
type, !,
for the distant press circulate through the tele-
graph their hurried accounts and views of the
debates of Congress, renders more important than
ever the full and exact official reports of the Con-
GREssIoNAL 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 taken down by 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 no press but the official Of Congress
publishes the full debate with the proceedings Of
both Houses unmutated. 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
tiers TO the eager appetite ofthe public for Congress
news, and meets the necessities of the political
press, by furnishing rapidly-written epitomt
suited to the of its patrons, perfect lnforma
ton of what passes in Congress Is greatly dimin-
ished. The circulation Of the Official reports hus
been, to some extent, cut off by the crude and
diversified accounts which, flying along the electric

like TO see w AT scrnally said and done in Con-
gress and TO judge for themselves, rather than TO
receive Impressions altogether from galvanc bat
teries. There are others, too, who, for the sake
OF the future, willingly patronize work which
preserves full record or the doings Of the great
moving and controlling power Of the Republic.
The undersigned has made preparations COM
mensurate with the increased importance Of tia
duty he has undertaken as the only reporter and
publisher of the complete debates and proceedings
OF both Houses Of Congress. The coming SEES
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 4 volumes Of near 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.
I 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. Al
expense Of the publication, the subscription price
will be the same that il has been for several years
past
The DAmY GLoBE will be published during the
session on a superfne double royal sheet. IL will
contain the debates as taken down by the report
ers and as sltered by the speakers, whenever they
make any alterations; the current news OF the
day, and miscellaneous matter. The main objeci
for publishing the daily paper H., 10 enable Mem
bers TO see their remarks IN IT, and alter them ifthey
shall think proper before they published in the
CoseRrssIoxAL GLOBE and APPrsDr.
The CoseREssioEAL GLoBE il made up Of the
daily proceedings Of the two Houses Of Congress-
and printed on a double roysl paper, with small
type, (brevier and nonpareil,) in quarto form,
each number containing sixteen royal quaro
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
PExDIx. 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. II is printed in the
same form as the Co1eREsaoNAL GLoBE, and
usually makes about the same number Of pages
during sess ion.
During the first month or six weeks OF a ses-
SION there is rarely more business done than will
make two numbers week-one OF the CosenEs-
SOCIAL GLOBE and one Of the APPEsDIx but dur
ing the remainder Of 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-.
eprsstoSsI GLOBE and APPENDIX together viii
make at least $500 large quarto peges, printed ~
small type-brevier and noDpareIl. We furnish
complete Indexes to both at the end OF session
