of my proposals and preparations to spread its
debates before The public. The success which mas
hitherto attended this undertaking il ID hoped viii
continue, and enable me to perpetuste the Iuli
history of the proceedings and discussions of the
body on which the destiny of the Repsbc ae-
pends.
The adoption of Congress has given the GronE
an official character as the reporter of All THAI as
said and done in the body This sanction mas

years, and by members of all parties. The press
too, of all parties has borne testimony to the cei

| The great celebrity with which the etter-writers
! for the distant press circulate through the tete-
graph their hurried accounts and views of the
debates OF Congress, renders more important tnaI
ever the full and exact official reports of the CoE-
GREssIoNAL GLoBE. The hasty, and in many
instances er parfe, relations by telegraph of Whist
occurs in Congress supersede, for the most part,
the eS act reports taken down bv reporters, ana
which formerly, shape less abhrv
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 unmutated. Indeed, no newspaper
can give them, and have room for advertisements
and the miscellaneous matter essential to their ex-
istence. While, therefore, the telegraph adminIB-
tiers to the eager appetite ofthe public for Congress
news, and meets the necessities of the political
press, by furnishing rapldly-wrtten cpitotne
suited to the taste of its patrons, perfect nforna-
ton of what passes In Congress Is greatly dtmui-
shed The circulation ofthe official reports mas
been, to some extent, cut off by the crude ana
diversified accounts which, flying along the electric
wires, satisfies curiosity and 1t is almost IN VAN
that truth puts on his boots to follow. SILL there
are great many men ofleisure and thought VINO
like to see what is actually said and doDe in Con-
sress, and to Judge for themselves, rather than 10
receive Impressions altogether from galvanic bnt
teries. There are others, too, who, Tor the SAGE
of the future, willingly patronlze work when
preservesa full record of the dongs of the great
moving and controlling power of the Republic
The undersigned has made preparations cora
mensurate with lie 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 sss
sion will probably be extended nine months, nm
the reports will not be comprised in less than 35Dt
royal quarto pages Of BREWER and nonpareil tyne
making A volumes of near 800 pages EACH
| The reports for the last long session made 1886
royal quarto pages, and were bound IN four yol-
umes, averaging 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. Al
though this will increase in no small degree Inc
expense Of the publication, the subscription price
will be the same that 1t has been for several years
past. Z
The DAILY GLOBE will be published during the
session on a superfne double royal sheet II wt

ers and as stered by the speakers, whenever the

| CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE and Appendix
The CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE is made up of the
dniIv proceedings of the two Houses of Congress
and printed on double royal paper, with small
type, (brevier and nonpareil,) in quarto fora,
| each number containing sixteen royal quarto
pages. The speeches of the Members, in this hrs,
| form. are sometime conference.-the full report OF
the prepared speeches being reserved for the Ar
| pEND,x 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 princisa
Officers of the Government that accompany IL, and
all Speeches of Members of Congress, written
out or revised by themselves. Ii 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 wIil
/ make two numbers u week--one of the CONGRESS
sIorAI GLOBE and one Of the APPENDIX; but dur
ing the remainder Of a session, there is usually
sufficient matter for two or three numbers OF eacD
every week. The next session will be unusually
interesting therefore, we calculate that the Cor
eREssIoNAL GLoBE and APPENDIX together wni
make at least $500 large quarto pnees, printed ~
small type--brevier and nontare. We furnish
complete Indexes TO both at the end OF session.
