PR OSPECTUS



d PAPER. hIH ra
The approach of Congress calls for the renewal
OF my proposals and preparations to spread
debates before the public. The success which
hitherto attended this undertaking il is hoped will
continue, and enable me to perpetuate the ruil
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 GIoyE
an official character as the reporter of all THAI as
said and done in the body. This sanction
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 fact
ity with which the duty thus confded has been
performed. The annexed notices, taken at ram
dom from the general expression in favor OF the
work, are submitted in proof Of its fullness, a,r-
ness, ard usefulness. | am compelled to on,it,
for want OF room, page Of notices Which are
type
The great celebrity with which the letter-writers
for the distant press circulate through the tei--
graph their hurried accounts and views of the
debates Of Congress, renders more important than
ever the full and exact official reports of the Cow
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 bv reporters, ana
which formerly, IN n shape more or less sbhre-
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 fun debate with the proceedings OF
both Houses unmututed. 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
ters TO the eager appetite ofthe public for Congress
news, and meets the necessities of the political
press, by furnishing rapidy-written epitome
suited to the taste of its patrons, perfect informa
ton of what passes in Congress il greatly dimn-
| .tnt nft or, al
been, to some extent, cut off by the crude an |
diversified accounts which, flying along the electric
wires, satisfies curiosity, and II Is almost IN VAIN
that truth puts on hia boots to follow. Still there
are great many men ofleisure and thought VINO
| like to see what is actually said and done in Com
gress, and to Judge for themselves, rather than TO
receive Impressions altogether from galvanic bat
teres. There are others, too, who, for the sake
of the future, willingly patronIze work which
preserves full record of the doings of the great
moving and controlling power of the Republic
The undersigned has made preparations com
mensurate with the increased importance of TN
duty he has undertaken as the only reporter and
publisher of the complete debates and proceedings
OF both Houses of Congress. The coming
sion will probably be extended nine months, am
the reports will not be comprised in less than 35u(
| ROYAL uuarto pages Of BREWER and nonpare tyne
making volumes of near 800 pages EACH
The reports for the last long session made 1896
royal quarto pages, and were bound in four vol
umes, averaging 9H royal quarto pages each
will publish in the APPENDIX for the next SEES
sion all laws that may be passed during the sea-
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 it has been for several years
past.
The DAILY GLOBE will be published during tnt
session on superine double royal sheet 1t WI
contain the debates as taken down by the report
ers and ns sliered by the speakers, whenever they
make any alterations; the current news of the
day, and miscellaneous matter. The main ob'rcl
for publishing the daily paper is, to enable Mem
bers to their remarks IN 1t, and alter hem fney
shall think proper before they are published In the
| CONGREGATIONAL GLOBE and APPENDIX.
The CoNGRgssioNAL GLOBE Is made up of the
daily proceedings of the two Houses of Congress,
and printed on double royal paper, with sinai
type, (brevier and nonpareil,) in qnarto form
each number containing sixteen royal quarto
pages The speeches Of the Members, in this FIRST
FORM are sometime condensed-the full report OF
the prepared speeches being reserved for the Ap
pENDIx. All resolutions, notions and other pro
ceedings, are given in the form of the Journals
with the yeas aud nays on every important ques
ton.
The APPENDIX is made up of the President &
Annual Message, the Reports of the principal
i Officers of the Government that accompany IT, and
f. all Sneeches of Members of Congress-, written
out or revised by themselves 1t is printed IN the
same form az the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE, and
usually makes about the same number Of pages
| during session.
During the first month or six weeks of ses-
sion there is rarely more business done than will
| make two numbers IA week--one of the CONGRESS
| sIowAL GLOBE and one Of the APPENDIX; but dur
| ing the remainder Of session, there is usually
sufficient matter for two or three numbers of each
| every week. The next session viii be unusually
interesting therefore, we calculate that the Coz
oRsssIoNAL GLOBE and APPENDIX together will
! make at least $500 large quartz psges, printed IN
small type--brevier and nonpare. We furnish
complete Indexes to both at the end OF a session.
We will endeavor to print sufficient number Of
surpuscopie to supply all that may be mscarried,
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 the
WORK, the money paid by them for it will be re-
| funded to them whenever they return the numbers
| which have been received by them. will give
the subscription price for any previous volumes OF
| the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE or the APPENDIX, and
will thank any person who will let me have them.

then, no doubt, command at least $40 volume,
