He was born on June 20, 1811 at Rathmell, Yorkshire, England. He was the son of George Towler of Sheepwash.
Supposedly he prepared at the Giggleswick Grammar School for St. John's College, Cambridge (where he may have been the John Towler, "priest, " registered as a non-resident ten-year man, 1836-46), but he received no degree at Cambridge.
In 1855 he received the degree of M. D. from Geneva Medical College.
He went to Karlsruhe, Germany, as "private teacher of his vernacular tongue", and there he translated Schiller's poetry and German war-songs into English verse. His edition of Don Carlos appeared at Karlsruhe in 1843, and his Meine Jugendzeit in the same year.
After coming to America, in 1850 he joined the faculty of Hobart College, Geneva, N. Y. , where he was professor of modern languages, mathematics, and natural philosophy (1852 - 68), and professor of civil engineering, chemistry, mathematics, and modern languages (1868 - 82).
From 1853 to 1872 served as a dean at the Geneva Medical College. In addition to natural philosophy, civil engineering, chemistry, and modern languages, he taught medical jurisprudence, anatomy, pharmacy, and toxicology. He was United States consul at Trinidad, 1882-86, and then retired to do literary work at Orange, N. J. He died at St. Cloud, Orange, N. J.
Except for his Guide to a Course of Quantitative Chemical Analysis (1871), from the German of K. F. Rammelsberg, Towler's American writings were chiefly on photography. He edited Humphrey's Journal of Photography and the Allied Arts and Sciences (1862 - 70) and its annual, the American Photographic Almanac (1864 - 67), besides contributing monthly articles (1868 - 72) to the Philadelphia Photographer. His books on photography were The Silver Sunbeam (1864), The Porcelain Picture (1865), Dry Plate Photography; or the Tannin Process (1865), The Negative and the Print; or the Photographer's Guide (1866), and The Magic Photograph (1866). Of these books, The Silver Sunbeam is the longest and the most important. Photography was in its infancy at the time, and the book probably contributed much to the rapidly increasing use of photographic processes. It presented an introductory history of photography, followed by descriptions of all the known processes, with full directions and formulae. Perhaps the most popular photographic manual of its time, it reached its ninth edition in 1879, and was translated into French, German, Italian, and Spanish.

Towler's red-lined military cloak and long white hair made him a striking figure, and his convivial disposition insured his popularity with friends and students.
By his first wife, whom he probably married in England, Towler had two sons, who were students at the Geneva Medical College in 1855.
By his second wife, Caroline Lili Kaiser, he had two daughters.
