debates before the public. The success which has
hitherto attended this undertaking il is hoped will
continue, ana enable me to perpetuste the full
history OF the proceedings aud discussions Of the
body on which the destiny of the Republic de-
pends.
The adoption of Congress has given the GLOBE
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 fde
ity with which the duty thus conided has been
performed. The annexed notices, taken at ran
dom from the general expression IN favor OF the
work, are submitted IN proof of It's iullness fair
ness, and usefulness. am compelled to omit,
for want of room, page of notices which are in
type.
| The great ceerty with which the letter writers
for the distant press circulate through the tee-
| graph their hurried accounts and views of the
debates or Congress, renders more important than
ever the full and official repoi of the Con-
GREssIoNAL GLoBE. The hasty, and in many
instances &c parfe, relations by telegraph of hat
occurs IN Congress supereie, for the most part,
the eSnct reports taken down bv reporters, and
winch formerly, IN shape more lees abbre-
waited, went the rounds Of the press. Now The
telegraph accounts, with all their imperfections
and variety ofcolorings, take the of the coun-
try, and no press bat the official of Congress ever
publishes the full debate with the proceedings Of
both Houses unmurnated. Indeed no newspaper
can give them, and have room for advertisements
and the sceaneous matter essential to their ex-
istence. While, therefore, the telegraph admins
ters to the eager appetite ofthe public for Congress
news, aud meets the necessities Of the political
press, by furnishing rapidly written eptome
suited to the taste of it's patrons, perfect informa
| lion of what passes III Congress IL greatly dimin-
! ished The circulation of the Official reports has
been, to some extent, cut off by the crude and
diversified accounts which, flying along the electric
wres, satisfies curiosity, and 1t is almost in vain
| that truth puts on his boots to follow. Still there
are great many men ofleisure and thought who
like to see what is actually said and done in Con-
gress, and to Judge for themselves, rather than to
receive Impressions altogether from galvanic bat
terles There are others, too, who, for the sake
| OF the future, willingly patronlze 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 the
duty he has undertaken the only reporter and
publisher of the complete debates and pi oceedngs
OF both Houses of Congress. The coming ses-
sion will probably be extended nine months, aud
the reports will not be comprised in less than $500
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
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 price
will be the same that it has been for several years
past.
The DAILY GLOBE will be published during the
session on superfne double royal sheet. II will
contain the debates taken down by the report
ers, and sltered by the speakers whenever they
make any alterations; the current news of the
day, and miscellaneous matter The main object
for pubising the daily paper is, to enable Mem
bers to their remarks in it, and alter them fthey
shall think proper before they published in the
CoNGREssIoNAL GLoBE and APPENDIX.
| The CONGRESSIONAL 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 nonpareil,) in quarto form,
each number containing sixteen royal quarto
pages. The speeches of the Members, in this first
form, are sometime condensed-the full report Of
the prepared speeches being reserved for the AP-
PENDix. All resolutions, notions, 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 Presidents
Annual Message, the Reports of the principal
Officers of the Government that accompany IT, and
all Speeches of Members of Congress, written
out revised by themselves. 1t is printed in the
same form the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE, and
usually makes about the same number OF pages
during sion. ~
sion, there is rarely more business done than will
| make two numbers u week--one of the CoNGREs-
| sIOEAL 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 will
make at least $500 large quarto pages, printed in
small type--brevIer and noDpareil. W e furnish
complete Indexes TO both at the end Of a session.
We will endeavor to print sufficient number
surplusco TO supply all that may be mscarried,
| or lost in the mails but subscribers should he

fear that we should not be able to supply all the
lost numbers

funded to them whenever they return the numbers
which have been received by them. will give
the subscription price for any previous volumes of
