of my proposals and preparations TO spread AVS

hitherto attended this undertaking 1t is hoped will
continue, and enable me 10 perpetuate the ioIl

The adoption of Congress has given the GLosE
an official character the reporter OF all thar rs
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 hact-
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, are submitted in proof OF It's funess, fair-
ness, and usefulness. | am compelled to omit,

Z The great CELEBRITY with which the letter-wr'ters
for the distant press circulate through the feie-
graph their hurried accounts and views OF the
debates Of Congress, renders more important than
ever the full and official reports OF the Cos-
eREssIosAL GLOBE The hasty, and in many
instances &c parte, relations by telegraph of what
occurs in Congress supersede, for the most part,
the yacf reports taken down bv reporters, ana
winch formerly, IN shape more or less aphf--
waited, went the rounds OF the press. Now the
telegraph accounts, with all their imperfechons
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 al
both Houses unmutated. 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 of the public for Congress
news and meets the necessities OF the political
press, by furnishing rapldly-wrtten epltome
suited TO the of its patrons, perfect nforma-
ton of what passes in Congress is greatly dmln-
ished The circulation of the Official reports has
been to some extent, cut off by the crude anu
diversified accounts which, flying along the electric
wires satisfies curiosity, and ii is almost IN VAN
that truth puts on his boots to follow. Still there
are great many men otleIsure and thought VINO
like to see wi at is actually said and done IN Con-
gress, and to judge for themselves, rather than 10
receive Impressions altogether from gavanic bat
teries There are others, too, who, tor the SAGE
of the future willingly patronze a 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 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 3oo'
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 uuarto pages, and were bound IN four vol
umes, averaging 974 royal quarto pages each
will D ,blish 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 small degree the
expense of the publication, the subscription pr'ce
will be the same that it has been for several years

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
make any alterations; the current news OF the
dav. and miscellaneous matter. The man object
for publising the daily paper IS, to enable Mem
hers to see their remarks in it, and alter them If they
shall think proper before they are 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 double royal paper, with small
type, (brever and nonparell,) IN quarto form,
each number containing sixteen royal quarto
pages. The speeches OF the Members IN TINS hrst
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.
Annual Message the Reports OF the PRINCIPAL
Officers of the Government that accompany 1t, anu
all Speeches of Members of Congress, written
out or revised by themselves 1t is printed In tne
same form as the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE, and
usually makes about the same number OF pages
during session.
During the first month or six weeks of a SEES
sion. there is rarely more business done than will
make two numbers d week-one OF the CoNGREs-
SIGNAL GLOBE and one Of the APPENDIX; but DUR
ing the remainder Of a session, there is usuatY
sufficient matter for two three numbers OF each
every week The next session will be unusually
interesting therefore, we calculate that the Con-
cRrss,oNhI GLOBE and APPENDIX together VIII
make at least $500 large quarto pages, printed IN
small type--brevier and nontarell' We furnish
-
complete Indexes to both at the emu or session.
We will endeayor to print sufficient number OF
surplus copies to supply all that may be miscarred,
or lost in the mails but subscribers should be
very particular to file their papers carefully, tor
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 1t will be re-
funded to them whenever they return the numbers
which have been received by them. ] will give
