PR oSPECTUS


THE approach of Congress calls for the renewal
OF my proposals and preparations 10 spread iss
debates before the public. The success which mas
hitherto attended this undertaking it is hoped will
continue, and enable me to perpetuate the full
history of the proceedings and discussions of me
body on which the destiny of the Republic ae-
Ponds.
fAs adoption of Congress has given the GIoDE
an official character the reporter of all that rs
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 ide
ity with which the duty thus confded has been
performed. The annexed notices, taken at ran
dom from the general expression in favor OF the
work, submitted in proof of its fuIlness faIr-
ness, and usefulness. | am compelled TO omit,

The great celebrity with which the letter-writers
for the distant press circulate through the tsle-
graph their hurried accounts and views of the
debates OF Congress, renders more important than
ever the full and exact official reports of the Cow
GREssIoNAL GLOBE. The hasty, and in many
instances er pare, relations by telegraph of what
occurs IN Congress supersede, for the most part 4,
the exact reports taken down bv reporters, ana
which formerly IN shape less abbrr-
waited, went the rounds OF the press Now the
telegraph accounts, with all their imperfections
and variety chickering's, take the run of the coun-
try, and no press but the official of Congress
publishes the fun debate with the proceedings OF
both Houses unmutilated. 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
ters to the eager appetite ofthe public for Congress
news, and meets the necessities of the political
press, by furnishing rapidly-written epitome

moving and controlling power of the Republic
The undersigned has made preparations
mensurate with the increased Importance Of tn,
duty he has undertaken as the only reporter and
publisher of the complete debates and proceedings
OF both Houses of Congress-. The coming SEES
sion will probably be extended nine months, ant
the reports will not be comprised in less than 35UL
royal quarto pages of brewer and nonpare type
making A volumes of near 900 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 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 that it has been for several years
past,

contain the debates as taken down by the report
ers, and as sered 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 M EN-
bsrs to their remarks in and alter them fthey
shall think proper before they are published in the
CoNGREssIoEAL GLoHE 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 iirst
form, are sometime condensed--the full report OF
the prepared speeches being reserved for the Ap-
rENDIx. 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.
The APPENDIX is made up Of the Presidents
An.lua Message, the Reports of the principal
Officers of the Government that accompany IT, and

out or revised by themselves. 1t is printed in the
same form as the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE, aud
usually makes about the same number OF pages
during session..
During the first month or six weeks of a scs-
sion, there is rarely more business done than will
make two numbers week--one of the CoNGREs-
srorAL GLOBE and one Of the APPENDIX; but dur
ing the remainder Of a 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-
GREssloNAL GLOBE and APPENDIX together will
make at least $500 large quarto pages, printed in
small type-brevier and noDpareil. We furnish
complete Indexes to both at the end Of a session.
We will endeavor to print sufficient number Of
surpuscopies to supply all that may be miscarried,
lost in the mails but Subscribers should be
very 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 or
the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE or the APPENDIX, and
will thank any person who will let me have them
have few copies of the back volumes Of the
CoNGREssIoNAL GLOBE and APPENDIX for sale at
IS volume bound, which it is probable will be
disposed Of soon and when they are, they will
then, no doubt, command at least $40 volume,
as they cannot be reprinted for less than that sum
There are IS back volumes.
