of my proposals and preparations to spread iVs
debates before the public. The success which mas
hitherto attended thus undertaking 1t is hoped w
continue, and enable me to perpetuste the rail
history of the proceedings and discussions of tne
body on which the destiny of the Republic ae-
ponds.
The adoption of Congress has given the GLOSS
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 press,
too, of all parties has borne testimony to the dei-
ity with which the duty thus conided has been
performed. The annexed notices, taken at ran
dom from the general expression in favor of the
work, submitted IN proof of its funess, falr-
ness, and usefulness. | compelled to omit,

The great celebrity with which the etter-writers
for the distant press circulate through the tsie-
graph their hurried accounts and views OF the
debates Of Congress, renders more important than
the full and exact official reports of the Con-
GREssloNAL GLOBE. The hasty, and in many
Instances parte, relations by telegraph of what
occurs IN Congress supersede, for the most part,
the exact reports taken down bv reporters, ana
winch formerly, IN shape more or less abhre-
waited, went the rounds OF the press. Now the
telegraph accounts, with all their imferfecuons
and variety coIorngs, take the run of the conn
try and no press but the official of Congress ever
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 othe public for Congress
news, and meets the necessities of the political
press, by furnishing rapdly-written epitome
suited to the taste of its patrons, perfect informn-
ton of what passes in Congress is greatly dimn-
ished. The circulation ofthe official reports has
BEEN to some extent, cut off by the crude anu
diversified accounts which, flying along the electric
wires, satisfies curiosity, and 1t is almost IN VAN
that truth puts his boots to follow. Still there
are great many men ofleisure and thought VINO
like to see WI at is actually said and done IN Con
gress, and TO Judge for themselves, rather than TO
receive Impressions altogether from galvanlc 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 as the only reporter and
publisher of the complete debates and proceedings
OF both Houses of Congress. The coming ser
sion will probably be extended nine months, am
the reports will not be comprised in less than 3506
royal quarto pages of BREWER and nonpareil type
making volumes of near 800 pages each =
The reports for the last long session made 1896
royal auarto 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 GLoBn will be published during the
session on superfne double royal sheet. 1t will
contain the debates as taken down by the report

make any alterations; the current news of the
day. and miscellaneous matter. The main object
for publishing the daily paper is, to enable M EN-
bers to see heir remarks in it, and alter them iftheY
shall think proper before they published in the
CoNGREssIoNAL GLOBE and APPENDIX.
The CoNGREssioHAL GLOBE Is made up of the
daily proceedings of the two Houses of Congress,
and printed on double royal paper, with small
type, (brevier and nonpareil,) 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-
pENpIx 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 wiil
make two numbers week-one OF the CONGRESS
'sIoEAL 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
;,taraet,no therefnre we calculate that the Con-
cREssroNAL GLOBE and APPENDIX together will
make at least $500 large quartz pages, printed ~
small type-brevier and nonpare. We furnish
complete Indexes to both at the end of session.
We will endeavor to print sufficient number OF
surplus copies tosupply all that may be miscarried,
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 1t 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 or
the CoNGREssroNAL GLOBE or the APPENDIX, and
will thank any person who will let me have them.
