Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1841, by MARCUS T. C. GOULD, in the Clerk's Office of the District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania. STENOGRAPHIC REPORTER. VOL. II.-1841. Nos., 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. PROSPECTUS, TO THE FIRST VOLUME OF GOULD'S STENOGRAPHIC REPORTER, A MONTHLY PERIODICAL, PUBLISHED IN WASHINGTON CITY, D. C. The Subscriber, formerly well known to the American public by his numerous Reports of Convention debates, Legislative debates, Sermons, Trials, Orations, Addresses, Lectures, &c., in the principal cities of the United States as the author of a work on stenography, and as editor and publisher of several successful periodical works in the city of Philadelphia having resumed his Stenographic profession, respectfully announces his intention to publish a series of periodical numbers and volumes, to embrace important TRIALS for Treason, Murder, Highway Robbery, Mail Robbery, Conspiracy, Riot, Arson, Burglary, Seduction, &c. Also, miscellaneous speeches of American Statesmen, in Congress, and other Legislative bodies; Lawyers and Judges in the Supreme Court of the United States, and individual States; political addresses, orations, lectures upon arts, sciences, literature and morals. Appropriate materials for such a publication have been accumulated, in short hand, during the last twenty years, from the lips of eminent American orators in fifteen different States of the Union. From these materials about 10,000 pages have been published in book and pamphlet form, at different times, and in various places; but, though liberally patronised, in particular States and districts, no attempt was made to give them a more general spread-they were isolated items, without connection, uniformity, or order, and are now generally out of print, and not easily obtained even for reference, however desirable. At the earnest solicitation of numerous professional gentlemen, and many distinguished citizens of the United States, the subscriber has been induced to enter upon the plan above proposed; and, as he has hitherto enjoyed the confidence and received the countenance and favor, of Legislatures, Courts, and public speakers, it will be his aim to deserve their friendly support in future. To select, revise, arrange, and publish, in a uniform series of numbers and volumes, the better portions of the matter alluded to, and to add from time to time new matter of a similar character, when recommended by its merits, and called for by the public, are prominent objects of this pub |
