Engelsk kartförläggare som övertog Thomas Jeffreys (se denne) affär och gav ut en lång rad med anmärkningsvärt fina kartor, glober, stadsplaner, atlaser etc. En katalog från Faden, tryckt 1822 registrerar över 350 publikationer. Till hans mest värdefulla verk räknas 'North American Atlas' (1777). 1798 gav han ut 'Atlas minimus universalis' med 55 kartor. I övrigt utförde han ingen standardatlas, men satte samman enkla kartor till atlaser efter olika beställares önskemål. Samlingarna blev försedda med tryckta titelblad, men varierar stort beträffande innehåll och storlek.

In June 1743 Makhayev was made director of the cartographic and die-carving section of the Academy, and he was employed there for the rest of his life.
