Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

John Fowler Trow was born January 30, 1810 in Andover, Massachussets. He was the son of Lieut. John Trow and Martha (Swan).
He was graduated from Phillips Academy, Andover, Massachussets, with the class of 1831.
He entered the employ of his brother-in-law, Timothy Flagg, of the printing concern of Flagg & Gould, later the Andover Press. Here he acquired a knowledge of printing in the oriental languages, for the firm, having received a donation of Greek and Hebrew type, was doing such printing under supervision of members of the Andover Theological Seminary faculty.
On April 14, 1832, Trow established the Nashua Herald at Nashua, N. H. , with S. J. Bard as editor and himself as printer. The newspaper was not successful, however, and was discontinued on July 11, 1832.
Removing to New York City in 1833, he first appears in the city directories as a printer in 1834. In that year he formed a partnership with John T. West under the firm name of West & Trow, which continued until 1837. Thereafter he seems to have conducted the business alone until 1844, when he became associated with Jonathan Leavitt and carried on a book shop as well as his printing establishment. This connection was broken in 1849.
In 1866 the firm of John F. Trow & Company, printers and publishers, was formed; for most of the time from 1873 to his death Trow was an official of the Trow City Directory Company, and from 1877, of Trow's Printing & Bookbinding Company.
He is best remembered for his publication of Trow's New York City Directory, compiled until 1878 by Henry Wilson, which was first issued in 1852-53. The John Doggett, Jr. and Charles R. Rode series of New York directories, begun in 1842, were being published when the Wilson-Trow directory was launched, but after the issue of 1854-55 this series was discontinued, leaving Trow's alone in the field. It continued under its original name until 1925, many years after Trow's death.
In 1847 he began printing and publishing Wilson's Business Directory of New York City, which appeared annually thereafter until 1884, when it became The Trow City Directory Co. 's (Formerly Wilson's) Business Directory of New York City. Another publication, first issued by John Doggett, Jr. , and later printed by Trow, was Wilson's New York City Co-partnership Directory. In his directories Trow advertised himself as a printer and stereotyper, doing every type of book and job printing.
In 1853 he issued a volume entitled Specimen Book of the Letterpress, Stereotyping, and Wood-cut Printing Establishment of John F. Trow, 49 Ann Street, New-York.
He published the New York Citizen and American Republican, later New York American Republican, a daily paper, from January 1, 1844, to its discontinuance in 1845.
He was also the author of Alton Trials: of Winthrop S. Gilman, Who Was Indicted for the Crime of Riot Committed on the Night of the 7th of November, 1837 (1838).
His death occurred at the home of a daughter in Orange, N. J.

On August 12, 1834, Trow married Catharine Swift, daughter of Dr. Nathaniel and Sarah Abbott Swift of Andover, Massachussets, and they had five children, four of whom survived him.
