PR OSPECTUS
THE GLOBE-THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWS
PAPER


The approach of Congress calls for the renewal
Of my proposals and preparations to spread ,vs
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 Gu orr
an official character the reporter Of all tina,
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 fact
ity with which the duty thus con6ded has been
performed. The annexed notices, taken at ran
dom from the general expression in favor of the
work, are submitted in proof of its funess, tair-
ness, and usefulness. | am compelled to omit.

The great celebrity with which the letter writers
for the distant press circulate through the te--
| graph their hurried accounts and views of the
debates OF Congress, renders more important than
the full and exact official reports of the Cow
GREssIoNAL GLoBE. The hasty, and in MANY
instances parte, relations by telegraph Of what
| occurs in Congress supersede, for the most part,
the exnct reports taken down by reporters, anu
which formerly, IN shape more or less abhrr-
waited, went the rounds OF the press. Now the
telegraph accounts, with all their mperfections
and variety chickering's, 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 unmutiIated. Indeed, no newspaper
can give them, and have room for advertisements
and the miscellaneous matter essential to their
istence. While, therefore, the telegraph admins
ters to the eager appetite ofhe public for Congress-
news, and meets the necessities of the political
press, by furnishing rapidly-written epitome
suited to the taste of its patrons perfect informu-
ton of what passes in Congress is greatly dmin-
ished. The circulation of the official reports has
been, to some extent, cut off by the crude an /
diversified accounts which, flying along the electric
wires, satisfies curiosity, and 1t is almost IN VAN
that truth puts on hs boots to follow Still there
are great many men OF leisure and thought VINO
like to see what is actually said and done in Con-
gress and to Judge for themselves, rather than 10
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 as the only reporter and
| publisher of the complete debates and proceedings
Of both Houses of Congress. The coming sch
sion will probably be extended nine months,
the reports will not be comprised in less than $500
royal quarto pages of brewer and nonpareil 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
urnes, 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
son which has not been done heretofore AL
though 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 GLonE will be published during the
session on superfne double royal sheet. II Wi

make any alterations; the current news or the
day, and miscellaneous matter. The main obircl
for publishing the daily paper is, to enable Mem
bers to their remarks in it, and alter them ifneY
shall think proper before they are published IN the
CoNGREs SIGNAL GLOBE and APPENDIX.
The CONGRESSIONAL 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 quarIo
pages. The speeches of the Members, in this flrs
form, are sometime condensed-the full report OF
the prepared speeches being reserved for the Ar
pENDIx 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
i The APPENDIX il made up of the Presidents
J 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 Tie
! same form as the CONGRESSIONAL GLoBE, and
4 usually makes about the same number Of pages
| during session.
During the first month or six weeks of q seq
son there is rarely more business done than will
1 make two numbers week-one OF the CoNGRLs-
SIGNAL GLOBE and one of the APPENDIX; but dur
| inc the remainder Of session, there rs usually
sufficient matter for two or three numbers of eacn
| every week. The next session will be unusually
! interesting therefore, we calculate that the Con-
fnrrat lArxx anil
make at least $500 large quarto pages, printed IN
! small lype--brevier and nonpare We furnish
| complete Indexes to both at the end Of session.
We will endeavor to print sufficient number Of
surpluscopies to supply all that may be mscarried,
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
