q PROSPECTUS FOR THE


Congressional Globe and APPendix.


THESE works have such wide circulation,
and have been so universally approved and sought
after by the public that we deem il necessary only


in this prospectus to say that they will be contln-
ued at the next session of Congress, and to state
succintly, their contents, the form in which they
will be printed, and the prices 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 resou-
tons offered, or motions made, given in the nc
ver's own words; and the yeas and nays on all the


important questions 1t is printed with small type
brewer and nonpareil-on double ROYAL sheet,
10 quarto form, each number containing 16 royal
quarto pages. 1t is printed as fast the business
done in Congress furnishes matter enough for
number. The first four weeks of session usual
y furnishes matter enough for one number week;
and The balance of the session enough for two or
three numbers week. The approaching session
OF Congress will be long one, and will furnish
matter enough, we suppose, for fifty or sixty num-
bers.


The Appendix is made up Of the Presidents
annual 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. Ii is printed in the
same form as the Congressional Globe, and usual
ly makes about the same number of pages. There
many numbersspubfshed the first weeks
oil session, as lnere are NUMBERS OF the Congress
sional Globe; because the members slow in
writing out their speeches. But towards the close
Eof a session the numbers are published more fire.
quently than the Congressional Globe.


Each of these works is complete in itself; but it
is necessary for every subscriber who desires full
knowledge of the proceedings of Congress- to have
both; because, then, if there should be any ambi-
guilty in the synopsis OF the speech, any denial
Of its correctness, published in the Cougresson-
al Globe, the reader may turn TO the Appendix 10
the speech at length, corrected by the member
himself.


Now, there is no source but the Congressional
Globe and Appendix, from which person can OBJ
tain a full history Of the proceedings of Congress
Gales & Seaton's Register Of Debates, which con-
tanned a history, was suspended in the year 1897
and has since been resumed X cost about five |
times much for a session as the Congressional
Globe and Appendix, and did not contain equal |
amount of matter, great portion of the current
proceedings being omitted.


Complete indexes to both the Congressional
Globe and Appendix are printed at the close of
session, and sent all subscribers for them.


The reports Of the Congressional Globe and Ap-
pendx not in the least degree affected by the
party bias ofthe Editors. They are given precise
ly as written out by the Reporters and the Men-
bers themselves, and subject 10 the revision l.
and correction of the speakers.


Both Houses of Congress take the Congression-
al Globe and Appendix for their committee rooms l.
and for the Libraries of Congress. So confident
are We that all who subscribe for these works viii



selves 10 take them back and rafund the money to
all who may be dissatisfied.


The approach of a Congress who will discuss
Tor the American pepoe all the poLtant ques-
tIons ever entertained by the NaIioaiA Councils
and new and extraordinary measures never before
fully yentnred upon, has induced the publishers off
the Globe TO make greater and better preparation
than heretofore for reporting and publishing the
speeches and proceedings of the next session.
