out themselves, together with the messages OF
the President of the United States, the reports OF
the Executive Departments, and the laws passed
by Congress- be added in an Appendix For
merly received subscriptions for the congress
sional Globe and Appendix separately But this
has not been found satisfactory, inasmnch as 1t
gave an incomplete view of the transactions in
Compress, and therefore, Il have concluded not to
sell them apart, considering that neighbors can
have the advantage of both by clubbing in case
an individual shall ind it too onerous to be at the
charge of both
sional Globe and cheaper it to subscribers, Con-
gress passed last year joint resolution making
it free of pOstage. annex it, as the law may
not be accessible to Postmasters generally:
Joint resolution providing for the distribution of
the laws of Congress and the Debates thereon.
With view to the cheap circulation of the
laws OfCongress and the debates contributing TO
the true Interpretation thereof, and to make free
the communication between the representative
and constituent bodies:
Be il resolved by the Senate and House of Re
personalities of the United States of America ia
Congress assembled, That from and after the pre-
ent session of Congress, the Congressional
Globe and Appendix, which contains the laws and
the debates thereon, shall pass free through the
mails SO long as the same shall b. published by
| order of Congress: Provided, That nothing here
in shall be construed to authorize the circulation
/ of the Daily Globe free of postage.
| Approved August 5, 1852.
| AS l sell the Daily Globe at half the price NJ
smilnr publications., SO the Congressional Globe
and Appendix is sold tor half the cost of niue
composition, press work and paper. This l Can
afford to do, nasmuch the subscription OF Con-
gress almost covers the cost of composition, and
this enables to sell for little than the
cost of pressworS and paper. It requires the
sale fubOut 1000 copies to reimburse expenses
If SUI only were sold, the cost of each copy would
be about Sl04. The debates in the English Par
lament cost about ELEVEN times much as
charge subscribers for he debates in Congress,
equal in quantity, aud well reported and print
ed.
The next session of Congress will be long
one and it is believed the Congressional Globe
for it will reach 1000 royal quartz pages, as The
last long session made 1912 !; and the long one
before that made 1901 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. This work increases in value as il
grows old. The first seventeen volumes will
now command three times, and some of the sub
sequent ones twice the original subscription
price.
The subscription price for the Congressional
Globe [incIuding the Appendix and the laws is
six dollars.
Complete indexes will be made out and for
warded to subscribers soon after the session is
ended.
Subscribers for the Daily should have their
money here by tho 5th. and for the Cougression-
al Globe by the 18th of Decem Der. The money
must accompany order for either the Daily or
Congressional Globe. Bank notes current where
Il subscriber resides will be received at par.
