PROSPECTUS FOR "THE GLORE,''
THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWSPAPER.
vFNlIE APPROACH OF CONGRESS calls Tor the
l. renewal of my proposals and preparations to
spread its debates before tho public. The success
which has hitherto atter.ded this undertaking it is
hoped will continue, and enable me to perpctuate
The full history OF .ne proceedings and discussions
OF the body on which the destiny of the Republic
depends
The adoption Of Congress has given the GLOBE
an oil ia character the reporter Of all that is
said and done in the body. This sanction has been
se.cd nj every successive session for many years,
and by members of all parties. The press, too, Of
al! parties, has borne testimony TO the fidelity with
which the duty thus conided has been performed.
The great celebrity with which the letter writer's
Cor the distant press through the telegraph
their hurried accounts and views of the debates of
Congress, renders more important than ever the
full and exact official reports otthe CoNGREssoNAL
GLOBE. The hasty, and in many instances eL parte,
relations by telegraph Of what occuro IN Congress
supersedc, for the most part the exact reports ta
ken down by reporters, and which formerly, in a
shape more or less abbreviated, went the rounds
Of the press. Now the telegraph accounts with all
their Imperiectiens and variety OF coorings, take
the run OF the country and press but the official
Of Congress ever publishes the full debate with
the proceedings of both Houses unmutiatcd. ln-
deed. no newspaper can give them, and have room
Tor advertisements and the miscellaneous matter
essential to their existence. While, therefore, the
telegraph administers to the eager appetite OF the
public for Congress news, and meets the neccssi
ties of the political press, by furnishing rapidly
writer epitomc suited to the taste OF is patrons
perfect information Of what passes In Congress Is
greatly diminished. The circulation OF the official
reports has been, to some extent, cut OIL by the
crude and diversified accounts which, hylng along
thc electric wires, satisfies curiosity, and 1t ls al
most in vain that truth puts on his boots to follow
Still there are great many men 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 impressions altogether from
galvanic batteries. There Others too, who, for
the sake of the future, willingly patronize work
which preserves full record OF the dolngs OF the
great moving and controlling power OF the Re-
public
The undersigned has made preparations com
nensuratc 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 extended nine months, and the
REPORTS will not be comprised in less than 1900
royal quarto pages of BREWER and nonparen type,
making volumes of near 900 pages each. The
reports for the last long session made 1886 royal
quarto pages, and were bound IN volumes, ave-
raging 914 royal quarto pages each.
will publish in the ApPESpix for the next ses-
sion all laws that may be passed during the ses-
sion, which hasnot been done hers .ofore Although
this will Increase in no small degree the expense OF
the publication, the subscription prlce VIII De the
same that it has been for several years past.
Tho DAILY GLOBE will be published during the

contain the debates as taken GOWN ny tHc ieIoii-
crs and as altered by the speakers, whenever they
make any alterations; the current news OF the day,
and miscellaneous matter The main object Tor
publishing the daily paper is TO enable Members
to their remarks in it, and alter them II they
shall think proper before they are published In the
CoNGREssIoNA e LOBE and APPENDIX.
The CoseR REssIosAL GLoBE is made up oil the
daily proceedings of the two Houses OF Congress,
and printed double royal paper, with email
type, (brevier and nonpare,) in quarto form, each
The speeches of the Members, in this first form,
arc sometimes condensed-the full report Of the
prepared speeches being reserved ior the APPEN-
DIX. All resolutions, motions, and other proceed
iugs are given in the form OF the Journals, with
the yeas and nays on every important question.
The APPENDIX is made up of the Presidents An
nua Message, the Reports OF the principal Ofhcers
of the Government that accompany II, ana all
Speeches of Members of Congress, written out or
revised themselves. IL 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 oil a se5sloL
there is rarely more business done than will make
two numbers a week-one of t. CONGRESSIONAL
GLOBE and one Of the APPENDIX; but during the re-
rnaindcr of a session there Is usually suihcient
matter for two or three numbers oi each every
week The next session will be unusually interest
ing; therefore calculate that the CoNoREssioNAL
GLOBE and APPENDIX together will make at least
$500 large quarto pages, printed in small type
BREWER and nonpareil. Complete indexes 10 Doth
will be furnished at the end OF n session.
