WORKS PROPOSED.

REGISTER OF DEBATES IN CONGRESS.-Gales & Seaton propose to publish a work with this title, to embrace a more full Re

port of the Speeches on topics of general interest, in each House of Congress, than has ever heretofore been published, or than can be given to the public through the ordinary channel of a newspaper.

The work is to be printed in an octavo form, on super royal paper. It is thought that the debates of the shorter session will make a volume of about 500 pages; the price of which to subscribers will be $3; and that of the longer session about twice as much, that is, one large volume of 1000 pages, or two small ones of 500 pages each; and the price to subscribers $5. An appendix will contain a list of the Members of each House, the yeas and nays in each House on questions which have been the subjects of debate, documents, and proper indexes to the whole

'This undertaking,' say the Editors, 'is not of course intended to substitute or supersede the Reports of Debates for the National Intelligencer, but rather, by withdrawing the heavy and extended Reports from its columns, to enable the Proprietors of that Journal to furnish, every day. in a comprehensive form, intelligible Reports of the Proceedings and Discussions on the day preceding, in both Houses.'

"The "Register" is necessarily an experiment, but it is an experiment the success of which we have no reason to doubt. Every one who takes an interest in our political history, as well as all those who engage in the duties of politi cal life, must have felt and lamented the want of a Record of Debates in Congress, in a convenient form, with indexes which might lead the inquirer to any subject debated, and to the name of any one engaged in debate. Such a work would be an elementary book for young politicians, and we have no hesitation in asserting that the possession of such a one, from the commencement of the existing government to this day, would be of immense value to the nation, were it only to show what has heretofore been said upon questions which are continually recurring for discussion, and producing needless consumption of time by superfluous debate. What is true of the years that have past, will, as soon as they are gone, be equally true of those in which we live. 'It is not only, therefore, as a vehicle of present information, but also as a book for future reference-as a National Political Repository and Text-Book, that we hope this work will be both useful and popular.'

This project is so excellent a one, and of such general utility to the country, that it cannot but be hoped the Editors will meet with the fullest encouragement to prosecute the work as they propose.

CARY & LEA are publishing ENGLISH COMMON LAW REPORTS, condensed and prepared by Thomas Sergeant and John C. Lowber. Five volumes have been published, viz. 1, 2, 5,6,7, and vols. 3, 4, and 8 will shortly be published. The price is $5 a volume in numbers. Orders may be addressed to Philip H. Nicklin, Law Bookseller, Philadelphia.
