Jan Carel Juta (23 March 1824 – 7 April 1886) was a Dutch-South African publisher, bookseller and brother-in-law of Karl Marx.[2]

He was born in Zaltbommel, Netherlands.[2] He married his wife Louise Juta on 5 June 1853 in a civil ceremony in Trier, Germany.[3][1]

Jan Carel and Louise had seven children,[3] including the future Sir Henry Juta QC, a barrister and senior Judge in the South African courts, who also served as Speaker of the Parliament of Cape Colony.[4]

Juta died on 7 April 1886 in Chiswick, London.

Juta Publishing is still trading, and is one of South Africa's leading academic and law publishers.[5]

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
