IshaII publish the Daily Globe, and the Congress
sional Globe, and Appendix during the next session
Of Congress. The Daily Globe Will contain q report
Of the debates in both branches Of Congress, as Ia
ken down byreporters, equal at least to any corps
CT short hand writers in this or any other country.
When the debates ofthe daydo not make more than
fcrty-fve columns they shall appear in the Globe
Of thenext morning, which viii contain, Slso, the
news Of the day, together with such editorial arti-
cles as passing events suggest.
The Congressional Globe and Appendix, viii con-
tain a report Of ali the debates in Gon6ress, revised
by the Speakers, the Messages Of the President Of
the United States, the Annual reports Of the heads
Of the Executive Departments, the Reports Of com
mittees Of Congress on important subjects Of gem
oral interest, the Laws passed during the session,
and eOpious indexes to all. These viii be printed
on a double royal sheet in book form, royal quarto
size, each number containing sixteen pages, aver
aging z. 39T words per page. The whole viii Iaake
between 200 and 1000 pages. 1t is believed that
no book has ever bean published at 50 low a rate.
Last year l advertised in the Daily Globe for siz
months, and in about one hundred other neWspa-
pers in the United States, areWard to any person OF
two hundred and ~foTty-fve dollars, who would pro-
duee a book published at so low q rate, and none
was produced. The large number Of copies SUBJ
scribcd for by Congress enables me to afford the de-
bates to subscribers so cheap.
The Congressional Globe and Appendix pass free
through the mails Of the United States, as will be
seen by reading the following joint resolution pas
sed by Congress August 6, 1852:
Joint Resolution Providing for the DIS
ti5ution of the LaDs Of Congress and

Of Congress, and the debates contributing to the true
