hitherto attended this undertaking it is hoped will
continue, aud enable me to perpetuste the full
history OF the proceedings and discussions OF the
body on which the destiny of the Republic de-
ponds.
The adoption Of Congress has given the GLoRE
an official character the reporter OF all that ID
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 hdel-
! ty with which the duty thus coniided has been
performed. The annexed notices, taken at ran
dom from the general expression IN favor or the
work, submitted in proof Of It's fullness, fair-
/ ness, and usefulness. | ain compelled TO omit,
for want OF room, page OF notices which are IN
type.
The great celebrity with which the letter-writers
for the distant press circulate through the tele-
| graph their hurried accounts and views OF the
debates OF Congress-, renders more important than
ever the full and exact official reports of the Con-
| GREssIoNAL GLOBE. The hasty, and in many
instances er parte, relations by telegraph Of what
occurs in Congress supers EIDE, for the most part,
| the exact reports taken down bv reporlers, and
winch formerly, IN a shape more Or less abbre-
waited, went the rounds OF the press Now the
| telegraph accounts, with all their imperfectlons
and variety Of coorngs, take the run of the coun-
try, and press but the official of Congress ever
publishes the fun debate with the proceedings OF
both Houses unmutilated Indeed, no newspaper
and the miscellaneous matter essential to their ex-
/ istence While therefore, the telegraph admins
ters the eager appetite ofthe public for Congress
news, and meets the necessities of the political
press, by furnishing rapidly-written epitome
suited to the taste of its patrons perfect informa-
ton of what passes in Congress is greatly dimin-
ished. The circulation ofthe Official reports has
been, to some extent, cut off by the crude and
diversified accounts which, flying along the electric
wires, satisfies curiosity, and it is almost in vain

are great many men ofleisure and thought who
like to see wi at is actually said and done in Con-
gress and to Judge for themselves, rather than TO
receive Impressions altogether from galvanic bat
teres. There are others, too, who, for the sake
of the future, willingly patronize work which
preserves 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 the
duty he has undertaken as the only reporter and
\ publisher of the complete debates and proceedings
1 Of both Houses of Congress- The coming ses-
sion will probably be extended nine months, and
the reports will not be comprised in less than $500
royal quartO pages of BREWER and nonpareil type
making 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 ses-
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 a superfne double royal sheet. Ii will
contain the debates taken down by the report
ers, and sltered 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 Mem
bers TO their remarksin It, and alter them ifthey
shall think proper before they published in the
CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE and APPENDIX.
The CoNGREssIoNAL GLOBE is made up of the
daily proceedings of the two Houses of Congress,
, and printed on a double royal paper, with small
type, (brever and nonpareil,) 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 Of
the prepared speeches being reserved for the AP-
PENpIx 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
Z Annual Message the Reports of the principal
. Officers Of the Government that accompany IT, and
q all Speeches of Members Of Congress, written
out or revised by themselves Ii is printed in the
same form as the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE, and
e usually makes about the same number OF pages
E during a session.
During the first month or six weeks Of a ses-
sion, there rs rarely more BUSINESS uOne tndn
make two numbers week-one OF the CoEGREs-
SOCIAL GLOBE and one OF the AFFLNpIx but dur
ing the remainder OF 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 Cox
GREssIoNAL GLOBE and APPENDIX together will
make at least $500 large quarto pages, printed in
small type-brevier and nonpare. We furnish
complete Indexes TO both at the end Of a session.
We will endeavor TO print sufficient number
surplus copies 10 supply all that may be miscarred,
or 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.
II 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 Of
the CoNGRESHoNiL GLoBE or the APPEsDIx, and
will thank any person who will let me have them.
