5 PAPER.
TIE approach of Congress calls for the renewal
of my proposals and preparations TO spread ,ts
debates before the public. The success which mas
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 ae-
Ponds.
The adoption Of Congress has given the GLOBE
an official character the reporter of all that 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 press,
too, of all parties has borne testimony TO the dei-
ity with which the duty thus conhded 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 fulness fElr-
ness, and usefulness. | am compelled to omit,
for want Of room, page of notices which are III
The great celebrity with which the le,ter-wrtsrs
for the distant press circulate through the leic-
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 bv reporters, and
which formerly, IN shape more or less abhre-
viated, went the rounds OF the press. Now the
and variety Of coorings, 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 unmutated. Indeed, no newspaper
can give them, and have room for advertisements
and the miscellaneous matter essential to their az
istence. While, therefore, the telegraph admins
ters the eager appetite ofthe public for Congress
news, and meets the necessities of the political
press, by furnishing rapidly-written cpitome
suited to the taste of its patrons perfect nformn-
ton of what passes in Congress s greatly dim,n-
ished The circulation of the Official reports mas
been, to some extent, cut of by the crude and
diversified accounts which, flying along the electric
wires, satisfies curiosity, and it Is almost IN VAN
that truth puts on hig boots to follow Still there
are great many men ofleisure 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 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 the only reporter and
publisher of the complete debates and proceedings
Of both Houses of Congress. The coming ses
sion will probably be extended nine months, ant
the reports will not be comprised IN less than 5aoe
royal quarto pages of BREWER and nonpnreil type
making volumes of near 800 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 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.
The DAILY GLo1R will be published during tn.
session on u superfne double royal sheet. 1t vii
contain the debates as taken down by the report
ers, and as stered by the sPeaksrs' whenever thel
make any alterations; the current news of TN
day, and miscellaneous matter. The main obIec
for publishing the daily paper is, to enable Mem
bers to see their remarks in and alter them iftncy
shall think proper before they are published in the
Conversational 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 small
type, (brevier and nonpareil,) in quarto form
each number containing sixteen royal quartc
nnoes. The speeches of the Members, in this first
form. are sometime condensed-the full report OF
the prepared speeches being reserved for the AP-
pENDrx 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.
During the first month or six weeks OF a ses-
sion, there is rarely more business done than will
make two numbers u week--One OF the CONGRESS
SIGNAL GLOBE and one Of the APPENDIX; bat 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
GREssIoNAL GLOBE and APPENDIX together Will
make at least $500 large quartz pages, printed IN
small type-brevier and nonpareil. We furnish
complete 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 mlscarred
or lost in the mails but subscribers should be
very particular to file their papers carsfully, 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 CoNcREssIoNAL GLOBE or the APPENDIX, and
will thank any person who will let me have them
have few copies of the back volumes Of the
CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE and APPENDIX for sale al
As a volume bound, which it is probable will be
disposed Of soon and when they are, they VIII
then, no doubt, command ut least $40 volume,
as they cannot be reprinted for less than that sum
There are IS back volumes.
