PR OS PECTUS
THE GLOBE-THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWS
PkPER

1HE approach of Congress calls for the renewal
OF my proposals and preparations to spread us
hitherto attended this undertaking it 10 hoped VII,
continue, and enable me to perpetuste the full
history Of the proceedings and discussions of the
body on which the destiny of the Republic ae-
ponds.
The adoption Of Congress has given tho GIosE
an official character as the reporter of all that
said and done in the body This sanction mas
years, and by members of all parties Thepress,
too, Of all parties has borne testimony to the faei
tty 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, fair
ness, and usefulness. l am compelled to omit,
for want Of room, page of notices which are IN
type 1
The great celebrity with which tie lettepwrters
for the distant press circulate through the tsie-
graph their hurried accounts apd Views Of the
debates Of Congress, renders moro important than
aver the full and exact official reports Of the Cow
aREssIoNAL GLOBE. The hasty, and in many
instances parte, relations by telegraph Of what
occurs in Congress supersede, for the most part,
the sx act reports taken down hv reporters, 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-
publishes the full debate with tho proceedings OF
both Houses unmutilated. 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 ofhe public for Congrsss
news, and meets the necessities of the political
press, by furnishing a rapidly-written epitome
suited to the taste of its patrons, perfect nformu-
ton Of what passes in Congress is greatly dim.n-
ished. The circulation of the official reports mas
been, to some extent, cut off by the crude and
diversified accounts which, flying along the electric
Wires, satisfies curiosity, and it is almost in VAN
that truth puts on his b0ots to follow Still there
are a great many men ofleisure and thought VINO
like to see what is actually said and done in Con
gress, and to judge for themselves, rather than TO
receive Impressions altogether from galvanc bat
teries, There are others, too, who, for the sake
of the future, willingly patronize a work which
preserves full record Of the doings of the great
moving and controlling power Of the Republic
The undersigned has made preparations com
mensurate with the increased Importance of th
duty he has undertaken MS the only reporter and
publisher Of the complete debates and proceedings
OF both Houses of Congress-. The coming sen
sion will probably be extended nine months, aIM
the reports will not be comprised in less than 35OG
royal quarto pages of BREWER and nonpareil type
making volumes of near 9OO 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 GLoM will be published during the
session on superfne double royal sheet. 1t Will
contain the debates taken down by the report
ers, and as slered by the speakers, whenever they
make any alterations the current news OF t,le
day, and miscellaneous matter. The main ob'rc
for publishing the daily paper is, to enable Mem
bers to their remarks in it, and alter them ftney
shall think proper before they are published in the
CONVERSATIONAL GLOBE and APPENDIX.
The CONGRESSIONAL GLoRE is made up Of the
daily proceedings Of the two Houses Of Congress,
and printed on double royal paper, with small
type, (brevier and nonpareil,) in quarto form.
each number containing sixteen royal quarto
pages. The speeches of the Members, in this FIRST
form, are sometime conference.-the full report or
the prepared speeches being reserved for the APP
PENDix. All resolutions, motions, and other pro-
ceedings, are given in the form of the Journals,
with the yeas and nays on every important quss-
ton. t,..t,.
The APPENDIX is made up Of the Presidents
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 IL printed in the
same form as the CONGREGATIONAL GLoBE, and
usually makes about the same number OF pages
during a session.
During the first month or six weeks of
sion, there is rarely more business done than will
make two numbers d week--one of the CONGRESS
SIGNAL GLOBE and one OF the APPENDIX; but dur
ing the remainder OF session, there is usualiv
sufficient matter for two or three numbers of each
every week. The next session will, be unusually
interesting therefore, we calculate that the Con-
cREss,oNAI GLOBE and APPENDIX together will
make at least $500 large quarto pages, printed III
small type-brever and nonparei. We furnish
complete Indexes to both at the end OF session.
We will endeavor to print sufficient number Of
surplus copies to supply all that may be mscarred,
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 CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE or the APPENDIX, and
will thank any person who will let me have them.
