PROSPECTUS FOR 1.-THE GLOBE"
THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWSPAPER.
TVSHE APPROACH OF CONGRESS calls for the
snread It's debates before the public. The
which has hitherto attended this undertaking It
hoped will continue, and enable me to perpetuate
the full history OF the proceedings and discussions
of the body ON which the desuhy oi INC Aepupho
depends.
an official character the reporter OF all that Is
said and done in the body. This sanction has been
voted at every successive session Tor many years,
and by members of all parties The prcss, too, OF
all parties, has borne testimony to the hdety wth
which the duty thus contidcd has been performed.
The great ceerity with which the letter writer's
for the distant 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 CoSGREssioNAL
GLOBE The hasty, and in many instances eI pdrte,
relations by telegraph Of what occurs In Congress
supersede, for the most part the exact reports Ia
ken down by reporters, and winch lorineriy' IN u
shape more or less abbreviated, went the rounds
of the press Now the telegraph accounts, with all
their iInperfe fecons and variety oil coorings, take
the run Of the country, and press but the ohcial
Of Congress ever publishes Masea ,o nunnatsd In
deed, no newspaper can give them, and have room
for advertisements and the miscellaneous matter
essential to their existence While, therefore, tne
telegraph administers to the eager appetite OF the
public for Congress news, and meets the necessl'
ties of the political press, by furnishing rapidly
written epomc suited to the taste of its patrons,
perfect information Of what passes in Congress Is
greatly diminished The circulation Of the official
reports has been, to some extent, cut OH by the
crude and diversified accounts which, hying aion
the electric wires, satisfies curiosity, and II Is al
most in vain that truth puts on his boos 10 'oiow;
Still there are great many men OF leisure and
thought who like to see what is actually said and
done in Congress, and to judge for themselves,
rather than to receive impressions altogelhel irol
paIyanic batteries There others, too who, for
the sake of the future, willingly patronizea work
which preserves full record Of the doings of the
great moving and controlling power OF the Ke-
public. =.
The undersigned has made preparations com
mensurate with the increased Importance OF the
duty he has undcrta 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 3,ooo
royal quarto pages of BREWER and nonPareii type,
making volumes of near 900 pages each. lhe
renorts for the last long session made 3,S96 royal
quarto pages, and were bound In 4 volumes, ave-
raging 974 royal quarto pages each.
will publish in the ArrEspIx for the next SEES
sion all laws that may be passed during the ses-
sion which has not 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 GLOBE will be published during the
session on superine double royal sheet. 1t will
contain the debates as taken down by the report
ers, and altered by the speakers, whenever they
and miscellaneous matter The main object Tor
publishing the daily paper ID to enable Members
TO see their remarks in it, and alter them II they
shall think proper before they are pubhshcd In the
CoNGREssIoNAL LOBE and APPENpII.
The CoNGR EssIoNAL GLoBE ID made up OF the
daily proceedings of the two Houses OF Congress,
and printed a double royal paper, with small
type, (brevier and nonparcil, IN quarto iorn cach
number containing sixteen royal quarto pages.
The speechcs of the Members, in this first form,
are sometimes condcnscd-the full report oil the
prepared speeches being reserved Tor the APPHN-
DIX. All resolutions, motions, and other proceed
ings, are given in the form OF the Journals, with
the yeas and nays on every important question.
The APrENpix is made up Of the Presidents "a An-
nual Message, the Reports OF the principal Odlcers
of the Government that accompany it, and all
Speeches Of Members of Congress, written out or
revised themselves 1t is printed in the same form
as the CoNo EssioSAL u LOBE, and usually makes
about the same number of pages during session.
During the first month or ak weeks OF scssioL
there is rarely more business done than VIII MAKE
two numbers a week-one of eCosGRKssioSAi
GLoBE and one Of the APPENDIX; but durng the re-
malnder of a session there is usually sufficient
matter for two three numbers OF each every
week. The next session will be unusually interest
ing; therefore calculate that the CoseREssioNAL
GLoBE and APPENDIX together will make at least
3 500 large quarto pages, printed in small type
BREWER and nonpare Complete Indexes 10 both
will be furnished at the end OF n session.
1 will cndeavor TO print sufficient number
OF surpus copies to supply all that may be miscar
red or lost in the mails but subscribers should
DC very particular to file their papers carefully, Tor
fear that ] should not be able TO supply all the
lost numbers.
II 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 may have been received by them. Will
give subscribers the subscription price for any of
the previous volumes OF the CosGRrssiosAL q 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
CoYoREssIoNAL & LOBE and APPENDIX for sale at
as volume bounS, which ii is probable will be
disposed Of soon; and when they are, they will
then, no doubt, command at least = 10 volume,
as they cannot be reprinted for less than that sum.
There are 25 back volumes.
