PR OS PECTUS
THE GLOBE-THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWS
PAPER


The approach Of Congress calls for the renewal
fmy proposals and Preparations TO spread It's
debates before the public. The success which mas
hitherto attended this undertaking it is hoped wi
continue, and enable me to perpetuats the tui
history of the proceedings and discussions of the
body on which the destiny Of the Republic ae-
ponds.
The adoption of Congress has giventhe Gu osE
an official character the reporter of all thar
said and done in the body This sanction has
been voted al every successive session for many
years, and by members Of all parties The press,
too, OF all parties has borne testimony to the del
ity with which the duty thus confded has been
performed. The annexed notices, taken at ram
dom from the general expression in favor OF the
work, are submitted in proof Of it's funess, tar
ness, and usefulness. | am compelled to omit,
for want of room, page of notices which are

The great celebrity with which the letter-writers
for the distant press circulate through the tele-
graph their hurried accounts and views Of the
debates OF Congress, renders more important than
ever the full and exact official reports of the Con-
GREssIoNAL GLOBE. The hasty, and in many
instances parfe, relations by telegraph OF what
occurs in Congress supersede, for the most part,
the exact reports taken down bv reporters, anu
winch formerly, In u shape more or less abbrc-
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 unmuiilated. 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
ters to the eager appetite ofthe public for Congress
news, and meets the necessities Of the political
press, by furnishing rapidly-written cpitome
suited to the taste of it's patrons, perfect nfornu
ton of what passes in Congress Is greatly dimui-
ished. The circulation of the Official reports mas
been, to some extent, cut off by the crude ana
diversified accounts which, flying along the electric
wires, satisfies curiosity, and it is almost in VAIN
that truth puts on hs boots to follow. Still there
are great many men ofcisure and thought who
like to what il actually said and done in Con-
gress, and to Judge for themselves, rather than 10
receive Impressions altogether from galvanic bat
teries There are others, too, who, for the sake
of the future, willingly patronize work which
preserves full record of the doings of the grsaI
moving and controlling power of the Republic
The undersigned has made preparations coin
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 SEES
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 4 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 ses
sion, which has not been done heretofore. AL
though this will increase in no small degree the
expense Of the publication, the subscription prce
will be the same that il has been for several years
past. eu} ".
The DAILY GLoBE will be published during tins
session on a superfne double royal sheet. 1t will
contain the debates as taken down by the report.
ers, and sltered by the speakers. whenever they
make any alterations; the current news Of tns
day, and miscellaneous matter. The main object
for publishing the daily paper is, to enable Mem.
bers to their remarks IN it, and alter them ftheY
shall think proper beforet they published in the
CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE and APPENDIX.
The CoNGRE ssIoNAL GLOBE is made up of the
daily proceedings Of the TWO Houses of Congress,
and printed on double royal paper, with small
type, (brevier and nonpare,) in quarto form.
EACH number containing sixteen royal quarIo
pages The speeches of the Members, in this first
form, are sometime conference.-the full report OF
the prepared speeches being reserved for the Ap-
pENDlx. All resolutions, motions, and other pro-
ceedinga, 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 Is
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 1t is printed in the
same form as the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE, and
usually makes about the same number Of pages
during a session.
During the first month or six weeks of ses-
sion, there is rarely more business done than will
make two numbers Week-one of the CONGREs-
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 each
every week. The next session will be unusually
interesting therefore, we calculate that the Con-
GREssIoNAL GLOBE and APPENDIX together witt
make at least $500 large quarto peges, printed in
small type--brevier and nonparel. We furnish
complete Indexes to both at the end Of session.
We will endeavor to print sufficient number Of
surpluscopies to supply all that may be miscarried
or lost in the mills 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 than. ] will give
the subscription price for any previous volumes or
the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE or the APPENDIX, and
will thank any person who will let me have them

CoYGREssIoNAL GLOBE and APPENDIX for sale at
