PROSPECTUS FOR THE GLOBE"
THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWSPAPER,
ME APPROACH OLE CONGRESS- calla for

PROsPECTUs FOR THE GLOBE"
THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWSPAPER.
. TIME APPROACH OF CONGRESS calls for the |
renewal Of my proposals. and preparations to
which has hitherto attended this undertaking il is
hoped will continue, and enable TO perpetuate |
the full history of the proceedings and discussions
OF the body on which the destiny OF the Republic |
depends.
fhe adoption of Congress has given the LOBE
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 members OF all parties The press too, OF |
all parties, has borne testimony 10 the fidelity with
which the duty thus confded has been performed. |
The great celebrity with which the letter writer's
for the distant press through the telegraph
their hurried accounts and views Of the debates OF
Congress, renders more important than ever the
iu and exact oftclal reports OF the CONGRESSIONAL
GLOBE. The hasty and in many instances er parte,
relations by telegraph of what occurs in Congress
suporsede, Tor the most part the exact reports ia
Ken down by reporters, and which formerly, in a
shape more or less abbreviated, went the rounds
OF the press Now the telegraph accounts, with all
erlmperiectiqns and variety OF colorings, take
the run OF the country, and no press but the official
of Congress ever publishes the full debate with
the proceedings OF both Houses unmutilated. In
deed, no newspaper can give them, and have room
Tor advertisements and the miscellaneous matter
essential 10 their existence, While therefore, the
telegraph administers to the eager appetite of the
public Tor Congress news, and meets the necessi.
ties OF the political press, by furnishing rapidly
perfect information of what passes in Congress is
greatly diminished. The circulation OF the official
reports has been, to some extent, cut of by the
crude and diversified accounts which, flying along
the electric wires, satsties curiosity and II is al
most in vain that truth puts on his boots to follow.
still there are great many men of leisure and
thought who like TO see what is actually said and
done IN Congress- and to judg for themselves,
rather than receive impressions altogether from
galvanic batteries. There Others too, who, for
the sake of the future, willingly patronizea work
which preserves a 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 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 less than 5000
royal quarto 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 97i 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 hasnot been done heretofore. Although
this will increase in small degree the expense Of
the publication, the subscription price will be the
same that 1t has been for several years past,
The DAILY GLOBE will be published during the
session on supertne double royal sheet. IL viii
contain the debates taken down by the report
ers and as altered by the speakers, whenever they
make any alterations; the current news OF the day,
and miscellaneous matter i ne main OBJECT Tor
publishing the daily paper ia to enable Members
to see their remarks III 1t, and alter them il they
shall think proper before they published in the
CoNGaEssIoNAL 6 LOBE and APPENDIX.
The CoSe EssIoNAL GLOBE Is made up of the
daily proceedings OF the two Houses Of Congress,
and printed 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 fret form,
arc sometimes CONFERENCE.-The full report of the
prepared speeches being reserved for the APPEs
DIX. All resolutions, motions, and other proceed
ings, given in the form OF the Journals, with
the yeas and nays on every important question
The Appendix Is made up OF the Presidents An
nua Message the Reports of the principal Officers
of the Government that accompany 1t, and all
Speeches of Members of Congress, written out
revised themselves. 1t is printed in the same form
as the Conc REssioSAL GLOBE, and usually makes
about the same number OF pages during session.
During the first month six weeks OF session.
there Is rarely more business done than will make
two numbers week-one Of t CoSGREssIoSAL
GLoBK and one Of the APPENDIX; but during the re-
mainder Of session there ia usually sufficient
matter for two or three numbers of each every
week. The next session viii be unusually interest
ing; therefore calculate that the CONGRESSIONAL
GLOBE and APPENDIX together will make at lcast
500 large quarto pages, printed in small type
BREWER and nonpareil. Complete Indexes to both
will be furnished at the end OF session.
] will endeavor to print sufficient number
of surplus copies supply all that may be miscat
ricd or lost in the mails; but subscribers should
be very particular TO file their papers carefully for
lost numbers.
If subscribers shall not be satisfied with the
work, the money paid by them for IL will be
funded TO them whenever they return the numbers
which may have been received by them. ! will
give subscribers tn, subscription price for any Of
the previous volumes of the CoseREssioSAL G LOBE
or the APPENDIX, except for the last session, and
will thank any person who will let me have them.
I have a few copies of the back volumes of the
CoSoREssIoSAL GLoBE and APPENDIX for sale at
81 a volume bound, which IL is probable will be
disposed of soon; nd when they are, they will
then, no doubt, command at least : II volume,
as they cannot be reprinted for lees than that
