PROSPECTUS FOR "lnE GLOBE"

PROSPECTUS FOR ..IHE GLoDE:,''
| THE CONGRESSIONAL NEwsPAPER
! rINHE APPROACH OF CONGRESS calls for the
renewal OF my proposals. and preparations 10
| spread its debates before the public The success
which has hitherto attended this Undertaking il ID
hoped viii continue and enable me to PERI etuate
the fulI history OF the proceedings and discussions
of the body on which the destiny OF the Republic
depends
The adoption of Congress has given the GLonE
an 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 prtss, too, OF
all parties, has borne testimony 10 the ildety with
which the duty thus conhded has been performed.
The great celebrity with which the letter riter5
tor the distant press through the telegraph
their hurried accounts and views oi the debates of
Congress, renders more important than eySr the
full and exact official reports olthe CoNoREssIosAL
GLoDE. The hasty, and in many instances eI parfe,
relations by telegraph of what occurs III Congress
supersedc for the most part, the exact reports ta
ken down by reporters, and which formerly, in
shape more or less abbreviated, went the rounds
of the press Now the telegraph accounts, with all
their imperfectons and variety OF coorings, take
the run Of the country and 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
fer advertisements and the miscellaneous matter
essential to their existence While, therefore, the
telegraph administers to the eager appetite Of the
public lor Congress news, and meets the necessi-
ties of the political press by furnishing rapidly
written eptome suited to the taste of its patrons,
perfect information of what passes in Congress Is
greatly diminished. The circulation OF the ffcial
reports has been, to some extent, cut oil by the
crude and diversified accounts which, flying along
the electric wires satisfies curiosity, and 1t Is al
mos, in vain that truth puts on his boots to follow
Still there area great many men OF leisure and
though; who like to what s actually said and
done in Congress, and to Judge for themselves,
rather than 10 receive impressions altogether from
galvanc batteries. There are others, too, who, for
the sake OF the future, willingly patronize work
q
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 as 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 lcss than 800
royal quarto pages OF BREWER and nonPareil type,
making volumes of nenr 900 pages each. The
reports Tor the last long session made $50 royal
quarto pages and were bound in volumes, ave
raging s74 royal quarto pages each
will publish in the APPENDIX for the next ses-
sion all laws that may be passed during the
sion, which hnsnot been done heretofore Although
this will increase in small degree the expense Of
the publication, the subscription price will be the
same that it has been for several years past
The DAILY G LOBE will be published during the
session on superfnc double royal sheet. 1t will
contain the debates as 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 The main object for
publishing the daily paper is to enable Members
to see their remarks in it, and alter them if they
shall think proper before they published in the
CoSGREssIoNAL q LOBE 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 email
type, (brever and nonparei in quarto form, each
number containing sixteen royal Guarto pages.
The speeches Of the Members, in this first form,
sometimes conference.-the full report of the
prepared speeches being reserved for the APPEN
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
nunl Message, the Reports Of the principal Officers
! OF the Government that accompany it, and all
| Speeches of Members of Congress, written out
revised themselves. IL is printed in the came form
as the CONGRESSIONAL q LOBE, and usually makes
about the same number OF pages during session.
During the first month or Blk weeks OF session
there is rarely more business done than will make
two numbers week-one OF CosoREsstoNAL
LOBE and one of the APPENDIX; but during the re-
maInder OF u session there is usually sufficient
matter for two or three numbers of each every
week. The next session will be unusually interest
ing; therefore | calculate that the CoSoREssIoNAL
GLOBE and APPENDIX together will make at least
3 500 large quarto pages, printed in small type
BREWER and nonpareii. Complete Indexes TO both
will be furnished at the end OF a sessi0n.
| will cndeavor to print a sufficient number
OF surplus copies to suppy all that may be Inlscar-
ned, or lost in the mails but subscribers should
he very particular file their papers carefully, for
fear that should not be able to supply al! the
lost numbers.
If subscribers shall not be satished with the
work, the money paid by them for il will be re
funded to them whenever they return the numbers
which may have been Received by them. i will
give Subscribers the subscription price for any of
the previous volumes of the CONGRESSIONAL e. LOBE
or the APPENDIX, except for the last scssion, and
will thank any person who viii let me have them.
| have a few copies OF the back volumes of the
CoEoREssIUSAL G. GLoBE and APPENDIX for sale at
s 5 a volume bound, which II is probable will be
disposed of soon; and when they arc, they will
then, no doubt command at least 3 10 volume,
they cannot be reprinted for less than that
There arc 25 back volumes.
