 Sower was a man of large property, and occasionally a 

 preacher in the German Churches in Pennsylvania. He un- 

 dertook and executed this work at his own risk, and had the 

 honour of printing the first Quarto Bible that ever issued from 

 an American press. It is one of the best specimens of typo- 

 graphy that our country has produced.
