PROSPECTUS FOR "rBE GLOBE

PROSPECTUS FOR "CBE GLOBE"
THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWSPAPER.
VV>liE APPROACH OF CONGRESS calls for the
l. renewal OF my proposals and preparations to
spread Its debates sscfore the public The success
which has hitherto attended this undertaking it is
hoped will continue, and enable me to pcrpetuate
the ful history Of the proceedings and discussions
OF the body on which the destiny of the Republic
depends
The adoption of Congress has given the LOBE
an Official character the reporter of all that is
sad and done in the body. This sanction has been
Voted at every successive session Tor 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 confided has been performed.
The great celebrity with which the letter writer's
for the distant press circulate through the telegraph
theT hurried accounts and views Of the debates Of
Congress, renders more important than ever the
iul and exact official reports OF the CONGRESSIONAL
GLonE. The hasty, and in many instances eI parte,
relations by telegraph of what occurs in Congress
supersede, for the most part the exact reports ta
ken down by reporters, and which formerly, in a
shape more less abbreviated, went the rounds
OF the press. Now the telegraph accounts, with all
their imperfections and variety of colorings, take
the run OF the country and no press but the official
OF Congress- ever 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 news, and r.ieets the necessi
ties OF the political press by furnishing rapidly
written eptome suited to the taste of its patrons,
perfect information OF what passes in Congress ia
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 it is al
most IN vain chat truth puts his boots to follow.
stlli there nre great many men OF leisure and
thought who like to what is actually said and
done Iii Congress, and to judge for themselves,
rather than to receive Impressions altogether from
ga)vanc batteries. There others, too, who, for
tic sake of the future, willingly patronizea work
which preserves full record of the doings of the
great moving and controlling power OF the Re-
public.
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 5000
royal quarto pages Of brewer and nonpareil type,
making volumes of near 900 pages each. The
reports for the last long session made 3,Sso royal
quarto pages and were 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 SEES
sion, which hasnot been done heretofore. Although
this will increase in small degree the expense OF
the publication, the subscription price will be the
same that ii has been for several years past.
The DAILY GLOBE will be published during the
session a superfne double royal sheet II will
contain the debates as 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
their remarks in it, and alter them if they
shall think proper before they are published IN the
CONGRESSIONAL G LOBE and APPENDIX.
The CoSGR EssoNAL GLOBE is made up OF the
daily proceedings Of the two Houses of Congress-
and printed on a double royal paper, with small
type, (brcvier and nonparei) in quarto form, each
nlaar, wal nrfn
The speeches of the Members, in this first form,
sometimes condcnsed-the full report OF the
prepared speeches being reserved for the APPEs-
DIX. All resolutions, motions, and other proceed
lngs, 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 officers
Of the Government that accompany IT, and all
Speeches of Members of Congress, written out or
revised themselves. IL s printed in the same form
as the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE, and usually makes
about the same number of pages during session.
During the first month or SIX weeks OF a session
there is rarely more business done than will make
two numbers a week--one Of TIC CoNoRrssIosAL
LoBE and one of the APPENDIX; but during the re-
malnder Of 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 CoNGRgssIoSAL
GLoBE and APPENDIX together Will make at least
$500 large quarto pages, printed in small type
BREWER aud nonpareil. Complete Indexes 10 both
| will cndeavor 70 print a sufficient number
OF surplus copies 20 supply all that may be miscar
ricd, or 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
lust numbers.
II subscribers shall not be satisfied with the
work, the money paid by them for IL will be re-
funded 70 them whenever they return the numbers
which may have been received by them. ! will
give subscribers the subscription price for any OF
the prcyious volumes Of the CoSGRkssIOSAL GLoBs
or the APPESpIx, except for the last session, and
will thank any person who will let me have them.
I have a few copies Of the back volumes OF the
CoSGR gssioHAL g LOBE and APPENDIX for sale at
= 5 volume bound, which ID is probable will be
disposed Of soon; and when they are, they will
then, no doubt, command ut least y 10 a volume, !
they cannot be reprinted for less than that sum.
There arc 25 back volumes.
