TNHE undersigned originated TIE mode OF Jour
| | nalizing the proceedings OF Congress winch
"a 1esented them entire. Their publication was the


first and only one that gave each successive step in
every measure in both branches of Congress a
brief of all the debates every important vote and
an Appendix, including at full leugth all the reyls
ed speeches delivered during the session. The
work thus conducted by them IS a most perfect po-
litical history. The Senators from the states and
the Representatives from every section Of the Union
4 bring with them into Congress knowledge Of tie
feelings, sentiments, and interests OF their several
constituencies. Public opinion and the public IN
/ formation, as il exists among those they represent
are embodied by them and IN the cruclbe Of Con-
gress the wisdom Of our times is brought to its test
and is there concentrated, IN directing the political
movements of the whole country. The impulses
thus given through Congress from every quarter re-
act upon the nation as whole, and all IT'S compo-
nent parts made to move in cooperation The
press cannot be more usefully employed than in
condensng and again spreading abroad the intelli-
gence Of our free country, tending TO such happy
| results through our almost miraculously adjusted
State and National institutions.


Having identified ourselves with the plan of adj
vancing the usefulness of Congress byspublishing
full and impartial reports, and having large mass
of the Congressional Globe and Appendix, issued
during the last ten years, which would be impaired
in value to us and utility to the public if the work
were discontinued, we have double motive to
prompt us to extend it through new series. We
are resolved, if possible, to give it pcrmancnce,
| and to hand it down to SUCCESSORS as a standard
work worthy Of being maintained and improved.
We shall enter upon our new undertaking without
being distracedor or burdened by any associate iabors
Of the press; and thus unlncumbcred, shall hope
to make the new series step IN advance OF the
former in all points Of execution With view to
accomplish this we shall be Gone or the other) al
ways in attendance in Congress; will compare the
manuscripts of our own reporters with the daily
reports OF the city papers; correct all by our own
observation and knowledge of the proceedings land
in all impo otant matters, where that will not assure
us of the fidelity Of the reports, will procure the
aid Of the members themselves to obtain the exact
scope Of their remarks. The work, thus authenti-
Gated, will be stereoyped, which is guaranty that
will make it as perfect as it is possible for us to
make it, as we would not incur the expense Of Ste
reotyping it if VIC did not feel confident of its supc-
riority over all works Of the kind which have been
or are likely to be published Stereotyping the
work will enable us to supply lost or mutated
numbers, which VIC will do without making any
charge for them.


The Congressional Globe is made up Of the daily
proceedings of the two Houses Of Congress The
| speeches Of the members are condensed TO bring
| them into readable length. All the resolutions
offered, or motions made, arc given in the movers
oUn words; and the yeas and nays on al the i'm
| portant questions 1t is printed with small type
BREWER and nonpareil--on double royal sheet, in
| quarto form, each number containing sixteen roya
! quarto pages.


The Appendix is made up Of the Presidents an
nual message the reports of the principal officers
! Of the Government that accompany it, and all the


long speeches of members Of Congress, written out
or revised by themselves. 1t is printed in the same
form as the Congressional Globe and usually makes
| about the same number Of pages.


| We print the numbers as fast as the proceedings
IF Congress furnish enough matter for number
Du ing the first month or six w seks Of session
there is rarely more business done than will make


one number of the Congressional Globe and ore
number of the Appendix week. bat during the
remainder of session there is usually sufficient


natter fortwo or three numbers ofeach every week


The next session will be long one, and it is sup
posed will be unusually interesting; therefore we
! calculate that the Congressional Globe and Ap-
| pendix will each make near one thousand large
| quarto pages, printed in small type-brevier and
| nonparel. We furnish complete indexes to both
at the end of session.


| We have on hand the Congressional Globe and
Appendix for the last twelve sessions of Congress,
| Of which five were long and seven were short ses-
sions. The Congressional Globe and Appendix
| for each session are bound together in excellent
binding with Russia backs and corners. Our pri-
ces for them, thus bound together, are s3 volume
for short, and IS volume for a long session, max
! ing SAG for full set Those who want the back
volumes should apply forthem Immediately, as'they
are in demand. The last Congress subscribed for
| two hundred and tWenty-sx sets and il is probable
| that the next will subscribe for at least as many
more, as the proceedings of Congress for the last
eight years cannot be procured from any other
source, Gales & Seaton having stopped printing
| their Register of Debates in 1897. A few hundred
| copies of the first volume is all we have on hand
| The next session Of Congress will be long one,
! md therefore the Congressional Globe and Appen-
dix should be 50 for the session, which is the price
| we charge for the unbound numbers Of the past
long sessions bat we have concluded to reduce the
price, as follows, until the first day ofneXt January,
after which time the Congressional Globe and Ap-
pendix will each be 81 for the session, and no de-
duction will be made on account Of the number OF
copies taken.


For one copy Of the Congressional Globe IL 50
For one copy Of the Appendix ! 50
| For four copies of either, or part Of both s 90
For twenty-five copies Of either, or part


or both 25 90


The money may be RENTED by mail at our risk


1t should be here by the 7th Of December, at far
thest, to procure all the numbers promptly.


Proprieors Of newspapers who copy this Pros
pectus, and send us ono copy Of their paper con-
tanning it, shall have their names entered on our
books for one copy Of the Congressional Globe and
Appendix during the session.


Our prices for these papers are 50 low that we
cannot afford to credit them out; therefore no per-
son need consume his time in writing for them aad
not sending the money BLAIR s RlVES.
