PROSPECTUS FOR ssTAE 0IO0Gs
THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWSPAPER.
TIME APPROACH OF CONG RESS calls for the
i renewal of my proposals and preparations to
spread its debates before the public. The success
which has hitherto attended this undertaking tbs
hoped will continue, and enable me to perpetuate
the full history OF the proceedings and discussions
Of the body on which the destirfy OF the Republic
depends.
The adoption of Congress has given the GLOBE
an official character the reporter Of all that is
said and done in the body. This sanction has been
voted a. every successive session for many years,
and by members Of all parties. The press. too, Of
all parties, has borne testimony to the fidelity with
which the duty thus confided has been performed.
The great cecrity with which the letter writers
for the distant prcss circulate through the telegraph
their hurried accounts and views OF the debates OF
Congress, renders more important than ever the
full and exact official reports Of the CONGRESSIONAL
GLOBE. The hasty, and in many instances ca porfe,
relations by telegraph of what occurs in Congress
supersedc, for the most part the exact reports Ia
shape more or less abbreviated, went the rounds
of the press Now the telegraph accOunts, with all
their iInperfections andvariety Of colorinss take
of Congress ever publishes the full debate with
the proceedings Of both Houses unmutilated. In
deed, no newspaper can give them. and have room
for advertisements and the miscellaneous matter
essential to their existence. While, therefore, the
telegraph administers to the eager sppetite of the
public for Congress news, and meets the necessi. .
tes of the political press by furnishing rapidly
perfect information of what passes in Congress ia
greatly diminished. The circulation Of the official
reports has been, to some extent, cut of by the
crude and diversified accounts which, lying along
the electric wires, satisfies curiosity and it is al
most in vain that truth puts his boots to follow
Still there great many men OF leisure and
thought who like to see what is actually said and
done in Congress, and to Judge Tor themselves,
rather than to receive impressions altogether from
galvanic batteries 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 Re-
public.
The undersigned has made preparations com
mcnsurate 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 less than $500
royal quarto pages Of BREWER 1 and nonparei type,
making 4 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 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 hasnot been done heretofore. Although
this will increase in small degree the expense of
the publication, the subscription price will be the
same that il has been for several years past
The DAILY GLoBr will be published during the
session ON superfinc double royal sheet. II will
contain the debates as taken down by the report
ers, and altered by the speakers, whenever they
and miscellaneous matter The main object for
publishing the daily paper is TO enable Members
10 see their remarks in it, and alter them II they
shall think proper before they are published In The
CONGRESSIONAL G LOBE and APPEsDIx.
The CONGRESSIONAL GLoRE is made up OF the
daily proceedings Of the two Houses OF Congress,
and printed on a double royal paper, with small
type (brevicr and nonparel, } in quarto forn each
number containing sixteen royal quarto pages.
The speeches Of the Members, In this hrst form,
are sometimes conference.-the full report Of the
prepared speeches being reserved for the APPss-
DIX. All resolutions, motions, and other proceed
ings are given in the form OF the Journals, with
the yeas and nays on every imposiant question
The APPENDIX is made up Of the Presidents An
nual Message, the Reports of the principal Othcers
of the Government that accompany 1t, end all
Speeches of Members Of Congress, written out or
revised themselves. Ii printed in tho same iorn
as the CoNoREssIoSAL GLOBE, and usually makes
about the same number OF pages odring a scssion.
During the fret month or sir weeks Of a session
there is rarely more business done than will make
two numbers q week-one oil CoseRkssiosAL
GLoss and one Of The APPENDIX; but during the re-
ma,nder of a .tssion there is usually sufficient
matter for .wo or three numbers Of each every
week TIE next session will be unusually interest
ing; tfsrcfore calculate that the CoSeREssiosAL
GLoy< and APPENDIX together will make at least
3 30 large quarto pages, printed in small type
.revier and nonpareiL Complete Indexes To both
will be furnished at the end OF n session.
I will eudcavor to print a sufficient number
of surplus copies to supply all that may be miscar
ried or lost in the mails but subscribers should
be very particular TO file their papers carefully for
fear that ! should not be able to supply all the
lCst numbers.
II subscribers sball 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 the subscription price for any Of
the previous volumes Of the CoSGRKssIosAL G. LoRK
or the APPrNDGx, except for the last session, and
will thank any person Who will let me have them.
I have n few copies Of the back volumes Of the
CosossssIosAL LonE and APPEsDfr for salo at
IS volume bound, which il ia probable will be
disposed of soon; and when they are, they will
then. no doubt, commsnd at least D 10 a volume.
