PR OSPECTUS
THE GLOBE-THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWS
PAPER

The approach of Congress calls for the renewal
of my proposals and preparations to spread It's
debates before the public The success which mas
hitherto attended this undertaking it s hoped wli
continue, and enable me to perpetuste 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 thar rs
said and done in the body. This sanction mas
been voted at every successive session for many
years, and by members of all parties The prsAs,
too, of all parties has borne testimony to the hds
ily 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, far-
ness, and usefulness. am compelled to omit,
for want of room, page Of notices which are m

The great celebrity with which the letter-writers
for the distant press circulate through the teie-
graph their hurried accounts and views of the
debates Of Congress, renders more important than
the full and exact official reports of the Cow
GREssIoHAL GLOBE. The hasty, and in many
instances ca 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 shape more or lees abbrr-
waited, went the rounds Of the press Now the
telegraph accounts, with all their imperfectlons
and variety ofcoorings, take the run of the cous-
try, and no press but the official Of Congress
publishes the full debate with the proceedings OF
both Houses unmutilated. Indeed, no newspaper
can give them, and have room for advertisements
and the miscellaneous matter essential to their ex-
stence. 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 a rapdly-written epitome
suited TO the taste of its patrons, perfect nforma
ton of what passes in Congress is greatly dimml-
shed. The circulation of the official reports has
been, to some extent, cut off by the crude anu
diversified accounts which, flying along the electric
wires, satisfies curiosity and it is almost in WIN
that truth puts on hls boots to follow. Still there
are a great many men oflesure and thought VINO
like to see what is actually said and done in Con-
gress, and to Judge for themselves, rather than TO
receive Impressions altogether from galvanic bat
teries. There are others, too, who, for the sake
of the future, willingly patronize a work when
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 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, ant
the reports will not be comprised in less than 35O6
royal quarto pages of BREWER and nonpare type
making 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
| will publish in the APPENDIX for the next scs-
sion all laws that may be passed during the SEES
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.
session on a superfne double royal sheet 1t vii
contain the debates taken down by the report
ers and as sltered by the speakers, whenever they
make any alterations; the current news of tnt
day, and miscellaneous matter. The main object
for publishing the daily paper is, to enable Mem
bers to see their remarks IN and alter them IfheY
shall think proper before they are published in the
CoNGREssIoNAL GLOBE and 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 sinai
type, (brevier and nonpareil,) in quarto form
each number containing sixteen royal quartz
pages. The speeches of the Members, in this hrs
form, are sometime condensed--the full report Of
the prepared speeches being reserved for the Ar
pEND,x. All resolutions, motions, and other nro
ceedings are given in the form of the Journals
with the yeas and nays on every important qucs
ton.
The APPENDIX is made up of the Presidents
Annual Message, the Reports of the princiua
Officers of the Government that accompany IT, 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 paYxt
during session.
During the first month or six weeks of a sss
son there is rarely more business done than vii
make two numbers week--one of the CoNGRE.
SOCIAL 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
interesting therefore, we calculate that the Cow
CREssIoNAL GLOBE and APPENDIX together viii
make at least $500 large quartr poges, printed III
small type-brever and nonyarel. We furnish
complete Indexes to both at the end Of session
We will endeavor to print Il sufficient number OF
surplus copies to supply all that may be miscarred
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.
