PROSPECTUS


I
Of my proposals and preparations to spread iw
debates before the public The success which mas
hitherto attended this undertaking il is hoped VIII
continue, and enable to perpetuste the ru
history Of the proceedings and discussions of tne
body on which the destiny of the Republic ae-
ponds,
The adoption of Congress has given the GIoBE
an official character the reporter of all that as
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 confded has been
! performed. The annexed notices, taken at ran
| dom from the general expression in favor OF the
work, submitted in proof of its fullness, iaIr-
ness, and usefulness | compelled to omnt
for want of room, page of notices which are ~

| 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 COH
GREssIoNAL GLOBE. The hasty, and in many
instances er parte, relations by telegraph of what
occurs IN Congress supersede, for the most part
the eS act reports taken down hv reporers, ana
which formerly, IN shape more or less abhre-
waited, went the rounds of the press. Now the
telegraph accounts, with all their imperfections
and variety chickering's take the run of the coun-
try, and no press but the official of Congress ever
publishes the full debate with the proceedings OF
both Houses unmutated. Indeed, no newspaper
can give them, and have room for advertisements
and the miscellaneous matter essential to their ex-
istence. While, therefore, the telegraph admlnis-
lers to the eager appetite the public for Congress
news, and meets the necessities of the political
press, by furnishing rapldly-wrten epltome
suited to the taste of It's patrons, perfect Informal
ton of what passes in Congress is greatly dimin-
shed. The circulation of the official reports has
been, to some extent, cut off by the crude ana
al arco wi he
wires, satisfies curiosity, and 1t is almost IN VAN
that truth puts on hia boots to follow. Still there
are great many men of leisure and thought VINO
like to what is actually said and done in Con-
gress, and to judge for themselves, rather than TO
receive Impressions altogether from galvanlc bat
teries. There are others, too, who, for the sake
of the future, willingly patronlze work which
preserves full record of the dongs 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 see
| sion will probably be extended nine months, ant
the reports will not be comprised in less than 35Ut
royal quarto pages of BREWER and nonpareil type
making volumes of near 800 pages each. -
The reports for the last long session made 1896
royal quarto pages, and were bound in four vol
umes, averaging 974 royal quarto pages each
| will publish in the APPENDIX for the next ses-
sion all laws that may be passed during the SEES
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 CLONE will be published during the
session on u superfine double royal sheet. Ii will
contain the debates as taken down by the report
ers aud 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 IA eul-
bers to their remarks in it, and alter them fteY
shall think proper before they published in the
| CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE and APPENDIX.
| The CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE is made up ef the
daily proceedings of the two Houses of Congress,
| and printed on a double royal paper, with small
type, (brever and nonpareil) in quarto form,
each number containing sixteen royal quarto
pages. The speeches of the Members, In this hrst
FORM are sometime CONFERENCE.-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.
| The APPENDIX is made up of the President
Annual Message, the Reports of the principal
Officers of the Government that accompany II, and
all Speeches of Members of Congress, written
out or revised by themselves. IL is printed in the
same form as the CeNeREssIoNAL GLOBE, and
usually makes about the same number OF pages
during session.
During the first month or six weeks of a sea-
sion, there is rarely more business done than will
make two numbers Week-one of the CONGRESS
sIoEAI GLOBE and one Of the APPENDIX; but dur
ing the remainder Of session, there is usually
sufficient matter for two or three numbers OF each
every week The next session will be unusually
interesting therefore, we calculate that the Con-
GREsstoNAL GLOBE and APPENDIX together will
make at least $500 large quartz pages, printed IN
small type--brevier and nonpareil. We furnish
complete Indexes to both at the end OF a 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 CoNeREssIoNAL GLOBE or the Appendix, and
will thank any person who will let me have them.
| have few copies Of the back volumes of the
CONGREGATIONAL. GLOBE and APPENDIX for sale at
IS a volume bound, which it is probable will be
disposed Of soon; and when they are, they will
| then, no doubt, command at least $40 a volume,
| as they cannot be reprinted for less than that sum
There are 25 back volumes
