PROSPECTUS OF THE
GONGR ESsIONAL GLOBE.

The approach of Congress calls for the renewal of

before the public. The which has hitherto at
tended this undertaking it is hoped will continue. and
enable to pefpetuate the full history OF the procee
dngs and decisions 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 is said and
done in the body. This sanction has been voted at
every successive session for many years. and by men,
bers of all parties. The press, of all parties has
borne testimony to the fidelity with which the duty thus
confided has been performed
The great celerity with which the etter-writers for
the distant press circulate through the Telegraph their
hurried and views of the debates of Congress
renders more important than ever the full and exact
official reports of the Congressional Globe The has
ty-and in many instances parte-relatons by Tel
egraph of what occurs in Congress supersede for the
most part the exact reports taken down by the repor

breviated went the rounds of the press Now the
Telegraph accounts with all their imperfections and
variety of colorngs, take the of the country, and
no press but the official of Congress ever publishes
the full debate with the proceedings of both houses
unmutiated Indeed, no newspaper can give them

of the public for Congress news and meets the
sites of the political press by furnishing rapidly

have been; to some extent cut of by the crude ard
diversified accounts which, flying along the electric
wires satisfy curiosity, and it is almost in vain that
ruth puts its boots to follow. Still there
great many of leisure and thought who like to
see what actually said and done in Congress- and to
udge for themselves rather than to receive impress

Others too who for The sake of the future, willingly
patronze work which preserves full record of the
doings of the great moving anu controlling power OF
the republic.
The undersigned has made preparations comfnensu-
safe with the increased Importance of the du ne has
undertaken the only reporter and publisher OF the
complete debates and proceedings of both houses OF
Congress. The coming session will probably be eX-
tended nine months, and the reports will not be
prsed less than $500 royal quarto pages of BREWER
and nonparel type, making four volumes of 900
pages each. The reports for the last long session
made 1896 royal quarto pages, and were bound in
four volumes, averaging 974 royal quarto pages each

all laws that may be passed during the session. which
has not been done heretofore Although this will in
in small degree the expences of the publ

has been for several years past.
The Daily Globe will be published during the session
on srperfne double royal sheet 1t will contain the
debates taken down by the reporters, and altered
by the speakers, whenever they make any alterations

The main object for publishing the daily paper is tc
enable members to see their remarks in it and alter
them if they shall think proper before they pub
lshed in the Congressional Globe and Appendix.
The Congressional Globe is made up of the daily
proceedings of the two houses Of Congress, and prir
ted double royal paper with small type, (breyie
and nonpareil) in quarto form, each number contain
ing sixteen royal quarto pages. The speeches of h

The Appendix is made up of the Presidents annua
