TIE approach of Congress calls for the renewal
OF my proposals and preparations to spread lls
debates before the public The success which mas
hitherto attended this undertaking 1t is hoped vii
continue, and enable me TO perpetuste the raj
history Of the proceedings and discussions of the
1 body on which the destiny of the Republic ue-
pends.
The adoption of Congress has given the GLoBE
an official character the reporter of all thar rs
said and done in the body. This sanction pas
been voted at every successive session for many
years, and by members of all parties The press,
too, of all parties has borne testimony the aei-
ity with which the duty thus conhded has been
performed. The annexed notices, taken at ran
dom from the general expression in favor OF rne
work, are submitted IN proof of It's tuness, taIr-
ness, and usefulness. | am compelled TO omit,
for want of room, page of notices which airs 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 Con-
GREssIoHAL GLOBE. The hasty, and in many
instances er parie, relations by telegraph of what
occurs in Congress supersede, for the most part,
| the exact reports taken down bv reporters ana
which formerly, a shape less abhre-
Waited, went the rounds OF the press. Now the
| telegraph accounts, with all their lmperfections
and variety chickering's, take the rug~pf the coun-
try, and no press but the official of Congress
publishes the full debate with the proceedings or
| both Houses unmulilated. Indeed, no newspaper
can give them, and have room for advertisements
and the miscellaneous matter essential To their ex-
istence. While, therefore, the telegraph admins
tiers to the eager appetite ofthe public for Congress
| news, and meets the necessities of the political
! press, by furnishing q rapdly-written epitome
suited to the taste of its patrons, perfect lnformu
ton of what passes in Congress is greatly dimrn-
ished The circulation of the Official reports has
been, to extent, cut off by the crude anu
diversified accounts which, flying along the electric
w.res satisfies curiosity, and it is almost In VAIN
that truth puts his boots to follow. Still there
| are great many men ofleisure and thought VINO
like to what is actually said and done in Con-
gress, and to Judge for themselves, ratherthan TO
receive Impressions altogether from galvanic bat
teries. There others, too, who, for the SAKE
of the future, willingly patronize work when
preserves full record Of the doings of the great
moving and controlling power of the Republic
The undersigned has made preparations
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 35Ut
royal quarto pages of BREWER and nonparell type
making A volumes Of near 900 pages each =
The reports for the last long session made 1896
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
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 GLOBE will be published during the
session on superfine double royal sheet. 1t Will
contain the debates taken down by the report
ers, and as stered by the speakers whenever they
make any alterations; the current news of the
day, and miscellaneous matter. The main object
for publishing the daily paper is, to enable Mem
bers to see their remarks it, and alter them ftneY
shall think proper before they published in
CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE and APPENDIX
The CoNGRn ssloNAL GLOBE is made up of the
daily proceedings of the two Houses of Congress-
and printed on double royal paper, with small
type, (brever and nonpareil,) in quarto form,
each number containing sixteen royal quarIo
pages. The speeches of the Members, IN this hrst
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. IL is printed In the
same form Us the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE, and
usually makes about the same number or pages
during session.
During the first month six weeks of a
son there is rarely more business done than will
make two numbers week--One OF the CONGRESS
sIoHAL GLOBE and one Of the APPENDIX; but dur
ing the remainder of session, there is usually
sufficient matter for two or three numbers of eacn
every week The next session will be unusually
into therefore. calculate that the CON-
cRrssIoNAL GLOBE and APPENDIX together will
make at least $500 large quarto pages, printed in
small type--brever and nonparell. w e furnish
complete Indexes to both at the end of session.
We will endeavor to print sufficient number of
surplus copies to supply 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 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.
