of my proposals and preparations to spread lts
debates before the public. The success which mas
hitherto attended this undertaking it is hoped will
continue, and enable me to perpetuate the full
history Of the proceedings and discussions of the
body on which tho destiny Of the Republic ae-
ponds.
The adoption of Congress has given the GIoBE
an official character the reporter of all that Is
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 6dci-
ity with which the duty thus confded has been
performed. The annexed notices, taken at RAN
dom from the general expression in favor Of the
work, are submitted in proof Of its fullness, fair
ness, and usefulness. l 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 tsie-
graph their hurried accounts and views of the
debates Of Congress, renders more important than
ever the full and exact official reports Of the Cow
oREssIoNAL GLOBE. The hasty, and in many
instances &c parte, relations by telegraph Of what
occurs in Congress supersede, for the most part,
the act reports taken down bv reporters, anu
which formerly, IN a shape more or less abbrc-
waited, went the rounds Of the press. Now tine
telegraph accounts, with all their imperfections
and variety chickering's, take the run of the coun-
try, and no press but the official of Congress
publishes the full debate with the proceedings OF
both Houses unmutilated. 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
ters TO the eager appetite ofhe public for Congress
news, and meets the necessities of the political
press, by furnishing a rapidly-wrtten epitome
suited to the taste Of it's patrons, perfect nformn
ton of what passes in Congress is greatly dimm-
ished The circulation ofthe official reports has
been, to some extent, cut off by the crude anu
diversified accounts which, flying along the electric
wires, satisfies curiosity, and it is almost in VAN
that truth puts on his boots to follow. Still there
are a great many men ofleisure and thought VINO
like to see wi at is actually said and done in Con-
gress, and to Judge for themselves, rather than
receive impressions altogether from galvanic bat
teries. There 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 tn
duty he has undertaken as the only reporter and
publisher of the complete debates and proceedings
Of both Houses of Congress. The coming ses
sion will probably be extended nine months, ant
the reports will not be comprised in less than 35O6
royal quaro pages of brewer and nonpareil type
making volumes of near 900 pages EACH
The reports for the iast long session made 1896
royal quarto pages, and were bound in four vol
umss, averaging 974 royal quarto pages each
will publish in the APPENDIX for the next SEES
sion all laws that may be passed during the SEES
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 GLonE will be published during the
session on a superfne double royal sheet. 1t will
contain the debates as taken down by the report
ers and as sltered by the speakers, whenever they
kau alterations. the Of
day, and miscellaneous matter. The main ob,rc,
for publjaing the daily paper is, to enable Mem
bers to their remarks in it, and alter them ifthey
shall thinkproper before they are published in the
CoNGREssloNAL GLOBE and APPENDIX.
The CONGRESSIONAL GLQRE il made up of the
daily proceedings Of the two Houses Of Congress-
and printed on double royal paper, with small
type, (brevier 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 Ar
PENnix. 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 President 8
Annual Message, the Reports of the principal
Officers of the Government that accompany 1t, and
all Speeches of Members of Congress, written
out or revised by themselves 1t ID printed in the
usually makes about the same number Of pages
during a session.
During the first month or ak weeks Of a sss-
sion, there is rarely more business done than will
make two numbers week-one of the CoNGREs-
sIoEAL GLoHE and one Of the APPENDIX; but dur
ing the remainder OF session, there il usually
sufficient matter for two or three numbers of each
every week. The next session will be unusually
interesting therefore, we calculate that the Con-
eREssIoNAL GLOBE and APPENDIX together Will
make at least $500 large quarto pages, printed IN
small type-brevier and nontareil. we furnish
complete Indexes to both at the end Of session.
We will endeavor to print sufficient number Of
surplus copies to supply all that may be miscarried,
or lost in the mails but subscribers should he
very particular to file their papers carefully, for
fear that we should not be able to supply all the
lost numbers.
If 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 CoNGREssIoNAL GLOBE or the APPENDIX, and
will thank any person who will let me have them.
