 He married the daughter of Jodocus Hondius, the partner of Gerard 

 Mercator, and his son (Henry Hondius) subsequently succeeded to the 

 business, which at his death was acquired by Jansson together with 

 the plates of the atlas. 



In 1686 Jansson issued his Appendix to the atlas published by Mercator 

 and Hondius, being the second volume of that atlas, and in 1642, the 

 third volume. In 1646, he brought out the fourth volume, which con- 

 tained the description of England, in Latin, by William Camden, 

 accompanied by maps of the counties of England and Wales. Several 

 editions weie subsequently issued, in French, Latin, and German.
