PROSPECTUS FOR 1.-THE GLOBE"
THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWSPAPER.
TIME APPROACH OF CONGRESS calls for the
i renewal of my proposals and preparations to
spread its debates before the public. The success
which has hitherto attended this undertaking 1t Ia
hoped will continue, and enable me to perpetuate
the full history Of the proceedings and discussions
of the body on which the destiny OF the Republic
depends.
an official character the reporter of all that is
said and done in the body. This sanction has 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 fidelity with
which the duty thus confded has been performed.
The great celebrity with which the letter writer's
for 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 OF the CONGRESSIONAL
GLOBE. The hasty, and in many instances er p0rte,
relations by telegraph of what occurs in Congress
supersede for the most part the exact reports ia
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 imperfectons and variety OF colorings, take

reports has been, to some extent, cut of by the
crude and diversified accounts which, lying along

most in vain that truth puts on his boots to follow

which preserves full record of the doings Of the

The undersigned has made preparations com
mensurate with the increased importance Of the
duty he has undertaken as the only reporter and
publisher of the complete debates and proceedings
of both Houses Of Congress The coming session
reports will not be comprised in less than $500
royal quarto pages of BREWER and nonparei 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 974 royal quarto pages each.

sion all laws that may be passed during the scs-

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 GLoBs will be published during the
session on a superfne double royal sheet 1t will
contain the debates taken down by the report
ers and as altered by the speakers, whenever they
make any alterations; the current news OF the day,

two numbers a week-one Of t c CONGRESSIONAL
G Loss and one Of the APPENDIX; but during the re-
Inainder of a session there is usually sufficient
mater for two three numbers OF each every

500 large quarto pages, printed in small type
