rAPER
THE approach of Congress calls for the renewal
of my proposals and preparations To spread Ils
debates before the public The success which mas
hitherto attended this undertaking 1t is hoped will
continue, and enable me TO perpetuete the rull
1 history of the proceedings and discussions of the
body on which the destiny of the Republic ae-
i pends
The adoption of Congress has given the GLoBg
an official character as the reporter of all that As
said and done in the body. This sanction mas
/ 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 haci
ity with which the duty thus conhded has been
| performed. The annexed notices, taken at ram
dom from the general expression in favor OF the
work, submitted in proof of its tullness, iaIr
ness, and usefulness. | am compelled TO omit,
for want OF room, page OF notices which are IN

/ The great CELEBRITY with which the letter- writers
for the distant press circulate through the teae
gruph their hurried accounts and views of Inc
debates OF Congress, renders more important than
the full and exact official reports OF the Con-
eREssIoNAL CLONE. The hasty, and in many
instances parte, relations by telegraph of what
| occurs in Congress supersede, for the most part,
/ the act reports taken down bv reporters, ana
winch formerly, IN shape more or less abhre-
waited, went the rounds OF the press. Now the

try, and press but the official of Congress ever
publishes the fun debate with the proceedings OF
| both Houses unmutllated. 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 a rapidly-wrliten epItome
suited TO the taste of It's patrons, perfect Informal
| ton of what passes in Congress is greatly dimin-
ished The circulation of the official reports has
been, to some extent, cut off by the crude ana
diversified accounts which, flying along the electric
W res satisfies curiosity, and it is almost in
| that truth puts on his boots to follow. Still there
are a great many men of eisure and thought VINO
like to see wi at is actually said and done IN Con-
gress, and to Judge for themselves, rather than
receive Expressions altogether from galvanc bal
teries. There are others, too, who, for the sake
of the future, willingly paronlZe work which
preservesa 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 as the only reporter and
publisher of the complete debates and proceedings
Of both Houses of Congress. The coming
sion will probably be extended nine months, an,
the reports will not be comprised in less than $500
royal quarto pages Of brewer and nonparell tyne
making volumes of near 900 pages each -
The reports for the last long session made 1886
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
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 DAILY GLOBE will be published during the
session on II superhne double royal sheet. 1t will
contain the debates as taken down by the report
ers and as stered by the speakers, whenever they
| make any alterations; the current news of the
day, and miscellaneous matter. The main obIecl
for publishing the daily paper is to enable M EN-
bers to see their remarks in 1t, and alter them fheY
shall think proper before they are published in the
| CoNGREs SIGNAL GLOBE and APPENDIX.
| The CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE is made up of the
dailv proceedings of the two Houses of Congress-
and printed on a double royal paper, with small
type, (brevier and nonparell,) IN quarto form,
each number containing sixteen royal quarto
| pages The speeches of the Members, in this FIRST
| form. are sometime condensed-the full report or
the prepared speeches being reserved for the Ar
pENpIx All resolutions, motions, and other pro-
Eceedngs, 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
Annual Message, the Reports of the principal
Officers of the Government that accompany II, and
all Speeches of Members of Congress, written
out or revised by themselves 1t Is printed IN the
same form as the CoNGREssioNAL GLOBE, and
usually makes about the same number OF pages
during session.
