PROSPECTUS FOR 1.-THE GLOBE

PROSPECTUS FOR "THE GLOBE"
THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWSPAPER.
TIME APPROACH OF CONGRESS calls for the
renewal Of my proposals. and preparations TO
spread it's debates before the public. The success
which has hitherto attended this undertaking ii 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 celerity 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 parte,
relations by telegraph OF what occurs IN Congress
supersede, for tho most part the exact reports ia
ken down by reporters, and which formerly, in
shape more or less abbreviated, went the rounds
of the press Now the telegraph accounts, with all
their imperfectons and variety Of colorings, take
the run of the country and no press but the official
of Congress publishes the full debate with
the proceedings Of both Houses unmutilated In
deed, no newspaper can give them, and have room
for advertisements and the miscellaneous matter
essential to their existence. While, therefore, the
telegraph administers to the eager appetite Of the
public for Congress ncws, and meets the necessl.
ties OF the political press by furnishing rapidly
perfect information of what passes in Congress is
greatly diminished. The circulation OF the official
reports has been, to some extent, cut oil by the
crude and diversified accounts which, flying along
the electric wires satisfies curiosity. and Il is al
most in vain that truth puts on his boots to follow
Still there are great many men OF ieisure and
thought who like to see what ID actually said and
done in Congress, and to judge for themselves,
rather than to receive impressions altogether from
galvanic batteries There others, too, who, for
the sake of the future, willingly patronizea work
which preserves full record OF the dongs OF the
great moving and controlling power Of the Re-
public
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
will probably be extended nine months, and the
reports will not be comprised in less than $500
royal quarto pages OF BREWER and nonpareil 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 ga royal quarto pages each, n
zion all laws that may be passed during the ses-
sion, which has not been done heretofore. Although
this will increase in small degree the expense Of
the publication, the subscription price will be the
same that it has been for several years past.
The DAILY LOBE will be published during the
session a superfine double royal sheet. 1t will
contain the debates taken down by the report
make any alterations; the current news of the day,
and miscellaneous matter The main object for
publishing the daily paper Is to enable Members
to see their remarks in H. and alter them II they
shall think proper before they are published in the
CoNGRxssioNAL G LOBE and APPENDIX.
The CoNGn EssIoNAL GLOBE is made up of the
daily proceedings of the two Houses Of Congress.
and printed on double royal paper. with small
type, (brcver and nonparel,) in quarto form, each
number containing sixteen royal quarto pages.
The speeches Of the Members, in this first form,
are sometimes conference.-the full report OF tho
prepared speeches being reserved for the ArPEN-
DIX. All resolutions, motions, and other proceed
ings, are given in the form OF the Journals, with
the yeas and nays on every important question
The APPENDIX is made up Of the Presidents An
nual Message the Reports OF the principal Oiilcers
of the Government that accompany it, and all
Speeches of Members Of Congress, written out or
revised themselves. 1t is printed in the same form
as the Coso KssfoSAL LOBE, and usually makes
about the me number Of pages during session.
During the first month or six weeks Of a session.
there 10 rarely business done than will make
two numbers wcck-onc OF CoNGREssIosAL
g LosE and one Of the APPENDIX; but during the re-
mainder of a session there is usually sufficient
matter for two or three numbers OF each every |
week. The next session will be unusually interest
ing; therefore calculate that the CoseREssIosAL
GLOBE and APPENDIX together will make at least |
, 500 large quarto pages printed in small type
BREWER and nonpareil. Complete Indexes to both |
will be furnished at the end of a session.
l will cndcavor TO print a sufficient number |
red, lost In the mails; but subscribers should |
be very particular to file their papers carefully for
fear that should not be able to supply all the |
loot numbers.
If subschbers shall not be satisfied with the |
work, the money paid by them for IL will be re- |
funded to them whenever they return the numbers |
which may have been received by them. ! will |
give subscribers the subscription price for any of
the previous volumes Of the CONGRESSIONAL GLoBK
or the APPENDIX except for the last session, and |
will thank any person who will let me have them.
I have n few copies Of the back volumes Of the
35 a volume bound, which IL is probable will be
isposed of soon; and when they are, they will
Lhen, no doubt, command at least $40 n volume,
a. thoy cannot be reprinted for Ices than that sum.
There are Is back volumes.
