GLOBE will be made up of the proceedings OF
Congress, and the running debates as taken down
by the reporters The Appendix will contain the

scrlbers, they will be sent to them, without

they have not received. Subscribers should be
careful to file all the numbers received, as the
complete work will be found to be very valuable

numbers very expensive to me.
The debates Of Congress are now as fully and

as those OF any other legislative body are in this

subscribers for one sirth of what any other de-

Congress enables INC 10 sell the debates so low.
And Congress, for the purpose of enabling the
