PROSPECTUS FOR 1.-THE GLOBE"

PROSPECTUS FOR ..THE GLOBE"
THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWSPAPER.
TIME APPROACH OF CONGRESS calls for the |
u renewal OF my proposals. and preparations TO |
spread its debates before the public. The success
which has hitherto attended this undertaking il is
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 10
said and done in the body. This sanction has been
and by memSers Of ali nar Sis The press too Of
all parties, has borne testimony to the fidelity with
which the duty thus confided has been performed.
The great celebrity with which the letter riters
for the distant the
their hurried accounts and views Of the debates OF
Congress, renders more important than ever the
full and exact official reports ofthc CONGRESSIONAL
GLOBE. The hasty, and in many instances &c 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
neutrality-suspicious. and variety Of colorings. take
the of the country and no press but the official
of Congress ever publishes the foil 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 news, and meets the necessi-
ties Of the political press, by furnishing rapidly
written eptome suited to the taste OF lite patrons,
perfect information of what passes in Congress is
greatly diminished. The circulation OF the official
reports has been, to some extent, cut of by het
orude and diversified accounts which, flying along
the electric wires satisfies curiosity, and it ia al
most in vain that truth puts on his boots to follow
Still there are great many men OF leisure and
thought who like to see what ia actually said and
done in Congress, and tojudge for themselves,
rather than to receive impressions altogether from
galvanic batteries There others, too, who, for
the sake of the future, willingly patronlzea work
which preserves full record of the doings Of the
great moving and controlling power OF the Re-
public. E.... -. .... . ...... 49,
The undersigned has made preparations COM
mensuratc 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 3,5oo
royal quarto pages of BREWER and nonpareil type,
making 4 volumes Of near 900 pages each. The
reports for the last long session made 1886 royal
quarto pages, and were bound In 4 volumes, ave.
raging 974 royal quarto pages each.
will publish in the APPENDIX for the next 5es-
sion all laws that may be passed during the ses-
sion, which hasnot been done heretofore. Although
this will increase in no small degree the expense of
the publication, the subscriptions price will be the
same that il has been for several years past.
The DAILY GLOBE will be published during the
session on superfne double royal sheet. 1t will
contain the debates rs taken down by the report
crs, and 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 If they
shall think proper before they published in the
CoNGR RssIoNAL GLOBE and APPENDIX. ~ @....-#
The CoNaR EssIoNAL 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 sometimes conference.-the full report OF the
rod chea hei
Dix. All resolutions, motions, and other proceed
ings, are given in the form OF the Journals, with
Chg and nays On eyery y PSr
nual Message the Reports of the principal Officers
of the Government that accompany 1t, and all
Speeches of Members of Congress, written out or
revised themselves. II is printed in the same form
as the CoNoR EssiosAL CLOSE, and usually makes
aboutEhe same number Of pages during session.
During the first month or six weeks OF session.
there is rarely more business done than Will make
two numbers wcek-one of tie CONGRESSIONAL
GLoRl and one of the APPENDIX; but during the re-
InAunder OF a scssion there is usually suihcient
matter for two or three numbers OF each every
week. The next session will be unusually interest
ing; therefore calculate that the CoNGR EssioNAL
GLOBE and APPENDIX together will make at least
$500 large quarto pages, printed in small type
BREWER and nonparcil. Complete Indexes to both
will be furnished at the end of session. ....,
I will endeavor to print sufficient number
ofsurplus copies to supply all that may be miscar.

lost numbers.
II subscribers shall not be satisfied with the

funded to them whenever they return the numbers
which may have been received by them. l will
rive subscribers the subscription price for any OF
the previous volumes Of the CosGR EssIoNAL q LOBE
or the APPENDIX, except for the last session, and
will thank any person who will let me have them.
