The "Congressional Globe" was in print at the same time as the "Register of Debates" and continued on after the Debates was no longer published.  From 1852 on, the Globe can be considered as a verbatim account of the proceedings of Congress.  Beginning with the 40th Congress in 1867, the Globe includes the "History of Bills and Resolutions. Moorehead, Joe and Fetzer, Mary, ed. Introduction to United States Government Information Sources. 4th ed., Co., Libraries Unlimited, Inc., 1992.  Palic, Vladimir, Government Publications, A Guide to bibliographic Tools, 4th ed., Washington, Library of Congress, 1975.

The Globe is an invaluable tool for historians researching this time frame.  Davidson College Library's holdings include the years 1833-1873 and are shelved in the Government Documents area on the ground floor.
