THEI GLOBE.

publish now my annual Prospectus of the
DAILY GLOBE, and the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE
and APPENDGx, to remind subscribers, and in
form those who may desire to subscribe, that
Congress will meet on the first Monday of next
| December, when / shall recommence publishing
the above named papers They have been pub
lshed SO long, that most public men know their
character, and therefore deem it needless to
| give minute account of the kind of matter they
will contain. . a
| The DAILY GLOBE will contain report of the
debates in both branches of Congress as taken
down by reporters equal, at least, to any corps
of shorthand writers in this, OF any other coun-
try. A ma ority ofthen1wil, zach, be able to
report, uerbatim, 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 day do not make more than forty five col
umns, they will appear 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
containa 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 the Executive Departments
the Laws passed during the session, and copi-
Gus indexes to all. They will be printed on a
double royal sheet, in book form, royal quarto
size, each number containing sixteen pages
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 a long
one This, believe, is the cheapest work ever
sold in any country, whether reprint, or print
ed from manuscript copy, taking for data the
average 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-
Ferage number of words of long session is
9,2J0,l12. As | have sold TO subscribers that
number of words for sir dollars, it follows that
they have paid less thaa sir and haLf cents for
eeery 100, 900 u0rds 4 hare furnished them, while
l have paid my reporters Sc, % for every 1887
words, of this work, in manuscript. ais1
The coming session will, without doubt, be
an unusually interesting one, because the can
didates of the respective parties for President
and Tice President of the United States will be
! nominated before 1T closes, and, therefore, the
debates will be mostly such political ques-
tons as, it may be thought. will tend to intiu-
ence public opinion in regard to the persons to
be supported for these offices, and the Globe
will be, as it has been for many years past the
only source from which the full debates of Con-
gress can be obtained. tr3atr8alau sus .ss
