PK< l*TKlt OF DEiIATRS. ‘
The- undersigned beg leave in this mahner
to inform the subscribers loThe Register of
Debates in Congress, that a very *hort ex
periment has been sufficient to satisfy them
of the impracticability of publishing and de
livering the Register sheet by sheet, and to
induce the publishers to defer the cJ e hvery
,of any part of the volume until the whole
shall be completed, which will he as soon as
practicable after the dost of the ‘present and
of each succeeding session of Congi ess.
There are several considerations, of a
merely mechanical or professional nature,
which have led to this determination. One
of.them alone would have been sufficient,
viz. that it is impossible in a prompt and pe
riodical publication of debates, to ensure the
degree of accuracy which is essential to such
a work as this. vVith all Ihe care which
could be taken with the first sheet, it has
been found expedient to print the whole ed
ition of it over again; so that the sheet airedv
transmitted to subscribers will be considered
as a sample, merely, of the work.
There is one o 1 her objection to the deliv
ery of ihe work sheet by sheet, whichtve wiil
particularly mention, viz. that the sheets will
sometimes miscarry, and frequently be mis
laid, after reaching the subscriber, so as to
create imperfections in the volume, which it
a oidd not be in the power of the published
to supply, and which would destroy the va
lue a( me wp.i k.— This inconvenience will
be entirely avoided by delivering the work
in volumes, as completed.
it only remains fort he publishers to invite
those w ho,-in subscribing to this work, desir
ed to procure a periodical publication, or
who do not approve of the of the
mode of delivering it, to with draw their
names from the subscription list. If such
persons slflt|l have paid the amount ofsub
scirption in advance, it will beimmeditely
returned to them, upon receiving informa
tion tfiat they do not upon the present plan,
desire to be considered as subscribers to the
work. G LES Ik SLATON.
