THE GLOBE.
THE OFFICIAL PAPER OF CONGRESS.

publish now my annual Prospectus of the
DAILY GLOBE, and the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE
and ArPENDIx, to remind subscribers, and in
form those who may desire to subscribe, that
Congress viii meet on the first Monday of next
December, when | shall publishing
the above named papers. They have been pub
lished so long, that most public men know their
character, and therefore l deem it needless to
give a minute account Of the kind of matter they
will contain.
The DAILY GLOBE will contain a report of the
debates in both branches of Congress as taken
down 10y reporters equal, at least, to any corps
of Shorthand writers in this, or any other coun-
try. A majority Of them viii, zach, be able to
repoft, ~rerbatim, ten thousand words an hour,
while the everage number of words spoken by
fluent speakers rarely exceeds seven thousand
five hundred words an hour. When the debates
of a day do not make more than forty five col
umns they willappear in the Daily Globe OF the
next morning, which will contain also, the news
of the day, together with such editorial arti-
cles as may be suggested by passing events.
The Congressional Globe and Appendix will
contain q report of all the Debates in Congress,
revised by the Speakers, the Messages of the
President of the United States, the Annual Re-
ports Of the Heads ofthe Executive Departments
the Laws passed during the session, and eopi-
Gus indexes to all. They will be printed on a
double royal sheet, in book form, royal quarto
/ SIZE, titn HtiiiDtI containing oIANtti luGtS.-
The whole will make, it is believed, between
$500 and $500 pages, the long sessions for
many years past having ranged between those
numbers, and the next session will be q long
one. This believe, is the cheapest work ever
sold in any country, whether a reprint, or print
ed from manuscript copy, taking for data the
av crage number of words of the long sessions
since the year 1913. The average number of
pages is 1876, and the average number of
words on a page is 1897, consequently the av-
erage number of words of n long session is
9,230,772. AS / have sold to subscribers that
number of words for SIR dollars, it follows that
they have paid less than SIR and one half cents for
erery 100 900 n0rds 4 haze furnished them, while
| have paid my reporters S6,29 for every 1887
words, of this work, IN manuscript.
The coming session will, without doubt, be
nm unusually interesting one, because the can
didates of the respective parties for Presi dent
and Tice President of the United States will be
nominated before it closes, and, therefore, the
debates will be mostly on such political ques-
tions as, ii may be thought, will tend to influ-
ence public opinion in regard to the persons to
be supported for these offices, and the Globe
will he, as it has been for many years past, the
only source from which the full debates of Con-
gress can be obtained.
The Congressional Globe and Appendix pass
