PROSPECTUS OF THE
CON SSIONAL GLOBE.

The approach of Congress calls for the renewal of
my proposals and preparations to spread its debates
before the public. Tne success which has hitherto at
tended this undertaking it is hoped will continue and
enable to perpetuate the full history the procee
dings and decisions OF the body which the destiny
of the republic depends.
Fhe adoption of Congress has given the Globe an
official character the reporter all that is said and
done in the body. This sanction has been voted at
every successive session for many years, and by
bers of all parties The press too, OF all parties has
borne testimony the fidelity with which the duty thus
conhded has been performed.
The great CELEBRITY with which the leter-wrers for
the distant press circulate through the Telegraph their
hurried and views of the debates Congress
renders more important than the full and exact
official reports of the Congressional Globe. The has
ty-and in many instances ec parte--reIations by Tel
egraph of what in Congress supersede for the
most part the reports taken down by the repor
tiers, and which formerlys in shape less alb
breviated, went the rounds of the press. Now the
Telegraph accounts, with all their imperfectons and
variety of colorngs take the of the country, and
no press but the official of Congress pubshes4
the full debate with the proceedings of both houses
unmutilated Indeed, newspaper can give them
and have for advertisements and the miscelane-
matter essential to their existence. While there
FORE the Telegraph administers to the eager appetite
of the public for Congress news, and meets the
sites of the political press by furnishing rapidly
written eptome suited the taste of its patrons per-
feet information of what passes in Congress- is great
ly diminished. The circulation of the official reports
have been, to some extent, eN off by the Grade and
diversified accounts which, flying along the electric
wires satisfy curiosity, and it is almost in vain that
Truth puts on its boots to follow. Still there are
great many of leisure and thought who like to
see what is actually said and done in Congress- and to
Judge for themselves, rather than to receive impress
sions altogether from gaIvanc batteries There are
Others too, who, for the sake OF the future, willingly
patronize work which preserves fall record of the
doings of the great moving and controlling power of
| the republic.
The undersigned has made preparations commensu-
with the increased Importance OF the duty he has
undertaken the only reporter and publisher of the
complete debates and proceedings of both houses of
| Congress The coming session will probably be ex-
tended nine months, and the reports will not be
prsed in less than $500 royal qaarto pages of BREWER
and nonparel type, making four volumes of near 900
pages each. The reports for the last long session
made 1896 royal quarto pages, and bound in
four volumes, averaging ga royal quaro pages each
will publish in the Appendix for the next session,
all laws that may be passed during the session, which
has not been done heretofore. Although this will in
Grease in small degree the expences of the publ-
cation, the subscription price will be the that it
has been for several years past.
The Daily Globe will be published during the session
on superine double royal sheet 1t will contain the
debates taken down by the reporters and altered
by the speakers, whenever they make any alterations,
the current of the day. and miscellaneous matter.
The main object for publishing the daily paper, is to
enable members to their remarks in it and alter
lished in the Congressional Globe and Appendix
The Congressional Globe is made up of the daily
proceedings of the two houses of Congress- and prn-
ted double royal paper, with small type, (brever
and nonparei0 in quarto form, each number contain
ing sixteen royal quarto pages The speeches of the
members in this first form, sometimes condensed
the full report of the prepared speeches being
ed for the Appendix All resolutions, motions, and
other proceedings given in the form OF the lourn
ads, 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
members of Congress- written out or revised by them
selves. 1t is printed in the same form as the Congress
sional Globe, and usually makes about the same num-
e Der of pages during session
During the first month, or six weeks of session
there is rarely more business done than will make
, numbers week-one of the " Congressional Globe, ;
and one Of the Appendix :" but during the remain
der of session there is usually sufficient matter fo
two or three numbers of each every week. The mex
session will be unusually interesting. Therefore
calculate that the Congressional Globe and Appendix
together will make least $500 large quarto pages
printed in small type-brevier and nonpareil. Com
. pIete indces to both will be furnished the end of
II session.
e will endeavor to print sufficient number of sur
II plus copies to supply all that may be miscarrie
on lost in the mails; but subscribers should be yer
