PROSPECTUS FOR arHE GLOBE"

PROSPECTUS FOR "TliE GLObE,
THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWSPAPER.
TINIIE APPROACH OF CONGRESS calls for the
L renewal of my proposals and preparations To
spread its debates before the public. The success
which has hitherto attended this undertaking it is
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
e'psnd.d PEN sdoo,oD Of Congress has given the cnosr
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 fidelity with
which the duty thus confded has been performed.
The great celebrity with which the letter writer's
for the distant press 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 CONGRESSIONAL
GLOBE. The hasty, and in many instances er parte,
relations by telegraph of what occurs in Congress
superscde, for the most part the exact reports Ia
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 imperfections and variety oil colorlngs 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, no newspaper can give them, and have room
essential to their existence. While, therefore, the
telegraph administers to the eager appetite OF the
public for Congress news, and meets the neccssi-
tics of the political press by furnishing rapidly
written eptomc suited to the taste Of its patrone,
perfect information Of what passes In Congress is
greatly diminished. The circulation OF the official
reports has been, to some extent, cut OIL by the
crude and diversified accounts which, hylng along
the electric wires satisfies curiosity and it ia al
most in vain that truth puts on his boots to follow
Still there are great many men OF leisure ana
thought who like to see what IS actually SAID and
done in Congress, and to judge for themselves,
rather than to receive impressions altogether from
galvanic batteries There others, too. who, for
the sake of the future, willingly patronize a work
C.n of fhn dpip oNf The
great moving and controlling power of the Re-
public.
The undersigned has made preparations com
mensurate with the increased importance OF the
duty he has undertaken the only reporter and
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 uuarto pages Of BREWER and nonpareil type
making 4 volumes of near 900 pages each. The
reports for the last long session made 1890 royal
quarto pages, and were bound IN IN volumes ave-
raging 974 royal quarto pages each.
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 Although
this will increase in 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 the
session superfne double royal sheet. 1t Will
contain the debates as taken down by the report
crs, and altered 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 Members
10 zee their remarks in it, and alter them If they
shall think proper before they are published in the
CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE and APPENDIX.
The CoN6R REssIoNAL GLoBE Ia made up OF the
daily proceedings Of the two Houses OF Congress,
and printed double royal paper, with small
type, (brevier and nonpare,) in quarto form, each
number containing sixteen royal quarto pages
The speeches of the Members, in this first form,
are sometimes conference.-the full report of the
prepared speeches being reserved for the APPKN-
DIX. All resolutions, motions, snd other proceed
inCs, are given in tho form OF the Jonrnals with
tho yeas and nays on every important question.
The APPENDIX is made up OF the Presidents 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. IL is printed in the same form
as the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE, and usually makes
about the same number of pages during session.
During the fret month or SIX weeks OF session.
there ia rarely more business done than will make
two numbers week-one of T. CosGRkssIoSAL
G. LoGK and of the ArPENDi1; but during the re-
Inalnder of a session there is usually sufficient
matter for two three numbers OF each every
week The next session will be unusually interest
ing; therefore calculate that the CoSGREssIoNAL
GLoBE and APPENDIX together will make at lenst
800 large quarto pages, printed in small type
BREWER and nonparcil Complete Indexes TO both
will be furnished at the end OF a session
/ will cndcavor TO print n sufficient number
of surplus copies TO supply all that may be mscar-
riod or lost in the mails; but subscribers should
be very particular TO file their papers carefully, for
fear that / should not be able to supply all the
lost numbers.
IL subscribers shall not be satisfied with the
work, the money paid by them for II will be re-
funded TO them whenever they return the numbers
which may have been received by them. i will
give subscribers the subscription price for'any Of
the previous volumes OF the CosGREssIoNAL q CLoBE
or the APPENDIX, except for the last session, and
will thank any person who will let me have them.
