are q great MANY men of leisure and thought VINO

The undersigned has made preparations corn
mensurate with the increased importance of Ia
duty he has undertaken as the only reporter and
publisher of the complete debates and proceedings
of both Houses of Congress- The coming ssH

the reports will not be comprised in less than 35Ut

unes averaging 974 royal quarto pages each

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 ~
session on a superfne double royal sheet 1t will
contain the debates as taken down by the report
ers and as stered by the speakers, whenever they
make any alterations; the current news OF tnt
day, and miscellaneous matter. The man ob'ec'
for publishing the daily paper is, to enable Mem
hers to see their remarks in it, and alter them they
shall think proper before they are published IN the
CoNcREss,oNAL GLOBE and APPENDIX.
The CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE is made up or the
dalv proceedings of the two Houses of Congress,
and printed on a.double royal paper, with small
TYNE. (brevier and nonpareil,) in quarto form,
each number containing sixteen royal quasto
nages. The speeches of the Members, in this hEst
nrm are sometime condensed--the full report OF
the prepared speeches being reserved for the hr-
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.
Animal Message, the Reports of the principal
Offcers of the Government that accompany IT, and
ali Sneeches 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 scs-
sion. there is rarely more business done than will
make two numbers week-one OF the CoNGREs-
SIGNAL GLOBE and one Of the APPENDIX but dur
ing the remainder Of a session, there is usuaiv
sufficient matter for two or three numbers OF eacn
every week. The next session will be unusually
. INTERESTING therefore, we calculate that the Conc
GRpssIoNAL GLoBE and APPENDIX together VIII
make at least $500 large quartH pages, printed III

complete Indexes to both at the end OF session.
We will endeavor to print suthcIent number OF
surplus copies to supply all that may be mscarried'

yery particular to file their papers carefully, for
fear that we should not be able to supply all the
