PROSPECTUS FOR "TnE GLOBE"


THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWSPAPER.
TIME APPROACH OF CONGRESS calls for the
l. renewal of my proposals and preparations to
spread it's debates before the public. Inc success
which has hitherto attended TINS undertaking III
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.
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
which the duty thus confided has been performed
The great celebrity with which the letter writer's
for the distant press throu 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 sr Parte,
relations by telegraph of what occurs III Congress
supersede for the most part, the exact reports Ia
ken down by reporters and which formerly. in
shane more or less abbreviated, went the rounds
of the press. Now the telegraph accounts with All
their inperfections and variety oi coorings, take
the run Of the country and no press but the ociai
of Congress ever publishes the full debate with
the proceedings of both Houses unmutiated In
deed, no newspaper can give them, and have room
to their existence. While, therefore, the
telegraph administers to the eager appetite OF the
public for Congress news, and meets the necessi'
ties of the political press, by furnishing rapidly
perfect information of what passes In Congress Is
greatly diminished. The circulation OF the ofhcial
reports has been, to some extent, cut on by the
crude and diversified accounts WHICH, nying along
the electric wres satisfies curiosity, and 1t al
most in vain that truth puts on his boots to follow;
Still there a great many men ot leisure ana
thought who like to see what ia actually said and
done in Congress, and tojudge Tor themselves
rather than to receive impressions altogether from
galyanic batteries There others, too, who, for
the sake of the future, willingly paronize work
which preserves full record OF the dolngs OF .he
great moving and controlling power OF the Re-
public. .
The undersigned has made preparations com
mensurate with the increased importance OF the
duty no has undertaken as the only reporter and
publisher of the complete debates and proceedings
Of both Houses of Congress. lhe coming session
will probably be extended nine months, and the
reports will not be comprised In iess tnan o,ooo
royal auarto pages Of BREWER and nonpareil type,
making volumes of near 900 pages each Inc
reports for the last long session made 3,S96 royal
quarto pages, and we're bound IN volumes, ave-
raging 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 hasnot been done heretofore. Although
this will increase in small degree the expense OF
the publication, the subscription price Will DC the
same that it has been for several years past.
The DAILY GLOBE will be published during the
session on a superhns double royal sheet II Will
contain the debates taken down by the report
crs and as altered by the speakers, whenever they
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 it, and alter them II they
shall think proper before they arc published In the
CosoR EssIoNAL GLoBE and APPENDIX.
The CoNoR n EssIoNAL GLOBE Is made up oil the
daily proceedings Of the two Houses oi congress-,
and printed on double royal paper, with small
type, (brever and nonpareil) 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 the
prepared speeches being reserved for the APrEN
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 Ofliccrs
of the Government that accompany 1t, and all
Speeches Of Members Of Congress, written out or
revised themselves. ii s printed in the same form
as the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE, and usually makes
about the same number of pages during session
During the fret month SIX weeks OF a session..
there is rarely more business done than will make
two numbers a week-one Of tic CoNoREssIoNAL
GLoBK and one Of the APPENDIX; but during the re-
maindcr Of session there Is usually sunicient
matter for two or three numbers OF each every
week. The next session will be unusually interest
ing; therefore calculate that the CoNoREssIoSaL
GLoBE and APPENDIX together will make at least
$500 large quarto pages, printed in small type
BREWER nd nonpareil. Complete Indexes 10 both
will be furnished at the end OF a session
1 will cndcavor to print n sufficient number
of surplus copies to supply all that may be Iniscar
ried, lost in the mails; but subscribers should
fear that should not be able to supply all the
lost numbers.
IL subscribcrs 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 may have been received by them will
give subscribers the subscription price for any OF
the previous volumes Of the CONGRESSIONAL q LOBE
or the APPENDIX, except for the last session, and
will thank any person who will let me have them.
I have q few copies Of the back volumes OF the
CONGRESSIONAL GLoBE and Appendix for sale at
S5 volume bound, which it is probable will be
disposed of soon; and when they are, they will
then, no doubt, command at least $40 n volume,
they cannot be reprinted for less than that sum-
There are 25 back volumes.
