| speeches which members may choose to
write out themselves will, together with the
messages of the President Of the United
States, the reports of the Executive Depart
menis, aud the laws passed by Congress, be
added in an Appendix Formerly received
subscriptions for the Congressional Globe
and Appendix separately. Bot this has not
been found satisfactory, inasmuch as II gave
an incomplete view of the transactions IN
Congress aud therefore have concluded
not TO sell them apart, considering that
neghbors can have the advantage of both
! 10y clubbing 10 case individuals shall find IT
too ouerous TO be at the charge of both.
To facilitate the circulation of the Con-
gressional Globe and cheaper IT to subscrlb-
ers, Congress passed last year a JOINT reso-
luton making II free of postage. | annex
1t, as the law may not be accessible to post
masters generally:
Joint Resolution providing for the dlslribu-
ton of the Laws of Congress and the
Debates thereon.
With view TO the cheap circulation OF
the Laws of Congress aud the Debates con-
tributing to the true Interpretation thereof,
81 to make free the communication between
the representative aud constituent bodies
/ BE IL res0iUcd BIZ The Senate and House
Of Representatives. Of The United States Of
America in Congress assembled, That from
and after the present session of Congress,
the Congressional Globe and Appendix,
which contain the laws aud the debates
thereon, shall pass free through the mnls so
/ long as the same shall be published by or
der of Congress PrOUided, That nothing
herein shall be construed to authorize the
circulation of the Daily Globe free Of
postage. Approved, August g. 1862
As | sell the Daily Globe at half the
price Of similar publications, so the Com
gressional Globe and Appendix is sold for
halt the cost of so much composition, press
work, and paper. This can afford to do,
lnasmuch as the subscription of Congress
almost covers the cost of composition, and
this enables me to sell for little more than
the cost of press-work aud paper 1t re-
qulres the sale of about Q 900 COPIES to re-
imburse expenses. If 500 only we're sold
the cost of each copy would be about Sl04 :
The debates in the English Parliament cost
about eleven times as much as | charge sub
scflbers for the debates IN Congress, equal
IN quantity, and as well reported and printed.
The next session Of Congress will be
long one and IT is believed the Congresslon-
al Globe for II will reach 900 royal qnarto
pages, as the last long session made 3 ,si2
and the long one before that made 3 ,90l
royal quarto pages-four large volumes each
session. If subscribers will be careful to
file all the numbers received by them, will
supply any that may miscarry in the mails
Tins work increases IN value as it grows old.
The first seventeen volumes will now COM
mand three times, aud some of the suisse
quent ones twice, their original subscription
price.
The subscription price for the Congress-
lonal Globe (includlng the Appendix and
the laws) is SIX dollars.
Complete indexes will be made out and
forwarded To subscribers soon after the ses-
sion is ended.
Subscribers for the Daily should have
their money here by the 9Th, and for the
Congressional Globe by the 10Th of Decem-
ber The money must accompany an order
for either the Daily or the Congressional
Globe. Bank notes current where a SUBJ
scrIber resides will be received at par.
