OF my proposals and preparations TO spread Ms
debates before the public. The success which mas
hitherto attended this undertaking il 10 hoped Wi
continue, and enable me to perpstuats the full
history Of the proceedings and discussions Of the
body on which the destiny Of the Republic ae-
ponds.
The adoption Of Congress has given the GLosE
an official character the reporter Of all that
said and done in the body. This sanction ms
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 conhded has be~o
performed. The annexed notices, taken at raa-
dom from the general expression in favor OF tns
work, are submitted in proof of Its fulIness, a,f-
ness, and usefulness. | am compelled to om,t,

The great CELEBRITY with which the lettcr-wri.srs
for the distant press circulate through the tcic-
graph thsas hurried accounts and views 81 uIe
debates Of Congress, renders more important thnn
ever the full and exact official reports OF the Cox
GREssI0NAL GLOBE. The hasty, and in many
instances er parfe relations by telegraph OF what
occurs IN Congress supersede, for the most part,
the eyact reports aken down bv reporters, anu
which formerly, IN shape more or less nbhr~-
waited, went the rounds Of the press. Now the
telegraph accounts, with all their imperfectons
and variety chickering's, take the run OF the coun
try, and no press but the official Of Congress ever
publishes the full debate with the proceedings Of
both Houses unmutiated. Indeed, no newspaper
can give them, and have room for advertisements
and the miscellaneous matter essential 10 their sK
stence. 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-wrsten eptome
suited to the taste of its patrons perfect informa
ton of what passes in Congress is greatly dimln-
ished, The circulation of the official reports mas
been, to some extent, cut off by the crude and
diversified accounts which, flying along the electric
wires, satisfies curiosity, and it is almost in vain
that truth puts on his boots to follow. Still there
great many men ofleisure and thought VINO
like to see what il actually said and done in Con-
gress, and to Judge for themselves, rather than
receive Impressions altogether from galvanc bnt
teries. 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 SEES
sion will probably be extended nine months, aiN
the reports will not be comprised in less than 35N
royal quartO pages Of BREWER and nonpareil type
making volumes of near 900 pages each =
The reports for the last long session made 1896
royal uuarto pages, and were bound in four vol
umes, averaging 974 royal quarto pages each
| will publish in the APPENDIX for the next SEES
sion all laws that may be paoaed during the sen
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 GLon will be published during the
session on superfne double royal sheet. 1t will
contain the debates taken down by the report
ers and az sltered by the speakers, whenever they
make any alterations the current news of the
day, and miscellaneous matter. The main object
for publishing the daily paper is, to enable Mem.
bers to their remarks in it, and alter them ney
shall think proper before they published in
CoNGREssIoNAL GLOBE end APPENDIX.
The CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE is made up Of the
daily proceedings of the two Houses Of Congress,
and printed on a double royal paper, with small
type, (brevier and nonparei y in quarto 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, 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 1t, and
all Speeches of Members of Congress, written
out or revised by themselves 1t is printed in the
same form as the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE, and
usually makes about the same number OF pages
during session.
sion there is rarely more business done than will
make two numbers week--one of the CONGRESS
SIGNAL 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 will be unusually
therefore, we calculate that the Con-
cREssIoNAL GLOBE and APPENDIX together will
make at least $500 large quarto pages, printed IN
small type-brevier and nonpareil. We furnish
Indexes to both at the end OF session.
We will endeavor to print a sufficient number Of
surplus copies to supply all that may be mlscarrled
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
