PROSPECTUS



PAPER.
TIE approach of Congress calls for the renewal
of my proposals and preparations to spread lts
debates before the public. The success which mas
hitherto attended this undertaking it is hoped wii
continue, and enable to perpetuste the full
history Of the proceedings and discussions Of the
body on which the destiny Of the Republic
ponds.
The adoption Of Congress has given the GIosE
an official character the reporter of all that ~
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 hasi-
ity with which the duty thus con6ded has been
performed. The annexed notices, taken at ruIl-
dom from the general expression IN favor or the
work, ARE submitted in proof of its fullness, fair-
ness, and usefulness | am compelled to omit,
for want OF room, page OF notices which ars ~
The great celebrity with which the letter-writers
for the distant press circulate through the teie-
graph their hurried accounts and views Of the
debates Of Congress, renders more important than
ever the full and exact official reports of the Con-
GREssIoNAL GLOBE. The hasty, and in many
instances sr parte, relations by telegraph Of what
occurs in Congress supersede, for the most part
the exact reports taken down bv reporters, ana
which formerly, In a shape more or less abhrr-
Waited went the rounds OF the press. Now the
telegraph accounts, with all their imperfectIOns
try, and press but the official of Congress ever
publishes the full debate with the proceedings OF
both Houses unmutated. 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
tiers to the eager appetite ofthe public for Congress
news, and meets the necessities of the political
press, by furnishing rapidly-wrtten epitome
suited to the taste of its patrons, perfect nformu
ton of what passes in Congress is greatly dImn-
ished. The circulation of the official reports has
been, to some extent, cut off by the crude anu
diversified accounts which, flying along the electric
wires satisfies curiosity, and il is almost in VAN
that truth puts on his boots 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 10
receive impressions altogether from galvanic bat
teries. There are others, too, who, for the sake
of the future, willingly patronze 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 tn
duty he has undertaken the only reporter and
publisher of the complete debates and proceedings
OF both Houses of Congress. The coming scs
sion will probably be extended nine months, ant
the reports will not be comprised in less than 35Ot
royal ouarto pages of BREWER and nonparei type
making volumes of near 900 pages each
The reports for the last long session made 3Sy6
royal quarto pages, and were bound IN four vol
umes, averaging 974 royal quarto pages each
will publish in the APPENDIX for the next SEES
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 DA,Ly GLOBE will be published during the
session on superfne double royalTheet II VIII
contain the debates as taken down by the report
era, and as stered by the speakers, whenever they
make any alterations; the current news OF the
dny, and miscellaneous matter. The main object
for publishing the daily paper is, to enable M EN-
bers to see in II, and alter them ifheY
shall think proper before they are published IN tue
CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE end 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 quarlo
papes. The speeches of the Members, in this flrst
FORM are sometime condensed-the full report OF
the prepared speeches being reserved for the AP-
pENp,x. All resolutions, motions, and other pro-
ceedings, are given in the form of the Journals,
with the yeas and nays on every important ques-
ton. SIS
The APPENDIX is made up of the Presidents
Annual Message, the Reports of the principal
Officers Of the Government that accompany 1t, and
ali Speeches of Members of Congress, written
out or revised by themselves. 1t is printed In the
same form as the CONVERSATIONAL GLOBE, and
usually makes about the same NUMBER OF pages
during session.
During the first month or six weeks OF ses-
sion there is rarely more business done than Will
make two numbers a week--one of the CoNGREs-
soEAI GLOBE and one Of the APPENDIX; but dur
ing the remainder Of session. there is usually
sufficient matter for two three numbers OF eacn
every week The next session will be unusually
interesting therefore, calculate that the Con-
aREssloNAL GLOBE and APPENDIX together will
make at least $500 large quart' pages, printed III
small type-brevier and nonpareii we furnlah
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 mscarried,
or lost in the mails but subscribers should De
yery 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.
