PROSPECTUS FOR .sTHE GLOBE"
THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWSPAPER.
TIME APPROACH OF CONGRESS calls for the
J. renewal of my proposals and preparations to
spread its debates before the public. The success
which has hitherto attended his undertaking II 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:
an official character the reporter OF all that ia
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 fidelity with
which the duty thus confided has been performed.
The great celebrity with which the letter-writers
for the distant press circulate through the
their hurried accounts and views of the debates OF
Congress, renders moro important than ever the
full and exact official reports ofthe CONGRESSIONAL
GLoBE. The hasty, and in many instances ca p0yte
relations by telegraph OF what 10 occurs IN Congress
ken down by reporters, and which formerly, IN q
shape more or less abbreviated, went the rounds
of the press. Now the telegraph accounts, with all
their imperfections and variety Of colorings, take
the Of the country and no press but the ofhcia
Of Congress ever publishes the full debate with
the proceedings of both Houses unmntilated. ln-
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 hecessi
ties of the political press by furnishing rapidly
written eptome suited to the taste of its patrons,
perfect information of what passes in Congress is
greatly diminished. The circulation OF the official
reports has been, to some extent, cut on by the
crude and diversified accountswhich, lying along
the electric wires, satisfies curiosity and It 10 al
most in vain that truth puts his boots to follow
Still there are great many men OF leisure and
thought who like to see what is actually salo ana

rather than to receive impressions altogether from
galvanc batteries There are others, too, who, for
the sake of the future, willingly patronixea 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
mensurate with the increased importance OF the
duty he has undertaken az 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 lcss than $500
royal uuarto pages of BREWER and nonpareil type,
making volumes of near 900 pages each. The
reports for the last long session made 1886 royal
quarto pages, and were bound In volumes, ave-
raging 974 royal quarto pages each
twill publish in the APPENDIX for tue next ses-
sion all laws that may be passed during the ses-
sion, which hasnot been done heretofore Although
this will increase no small degree the expense Of
the publication, the subscription price will be the
same that il has been for several years past
The DAILY GLosE will be published during the
session on q superfne double royal sheet. II will
contain the debates az taken down by the report
ers aud AZ 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 sec their remarks in IT, and alter them II they
shall think proper before they are published in the
CoNGR EssioNA g LOBE and APPsNDIx.
The CONGRESSIONAL CLoBB is made up OF the
daily proceedings OF the two houses OF Congress,
and printed on a double royal paper, with small
type, (broyier and nonpareil, in quarto form each
number containing sixteen royal quarto pages.
The speeches of the Members, in this hrst form,
prepared speeches being reserved for the APPEk-
Dix. All resolutions, motions, and other Procec2
ings, given in the form OF the Journals, W.
the yeas and nays on every important question:
The APPENDIX is made up OF the Prcsidents An
nual Messag gc the Reports Of the principal Oiccrs
Of the Government that accompany IT, and alt
Speeches Of Members Of Copgress, written out or
revised themselves II il printed 10 the same form
AZ the Cor xssIoSAL & LosE, and usually makes
about tho same number Of pages during session
During the fret month or six weeks of sessoL
there is rarely more business done tnan VIII make
two numbers wcck-one OF { cCosGREssloSAL
CLosE and one Of the APPENDIX; but during the re-
InaIndcr OF q session there is usually sufhcient
matter for two or three numbers Of each every
week. The next session will be unusually interest
ing; therefore calculate that the CoSoaEssIorAL
GIoBK and APPENDIX together will make at least
$500 large quarto pages, printed in small type
BREWER and nonparcl. Complete Indcxcs to both

of surplus copies supply all that may be miscar-
