Jansen published his publications under the acronym CHCF Jansen, in the foreword to his 741-page work from 1824 he signed his nickname, Friedrich Jansen.

The Leipziger Literaturzeitung was critical of the book presentation:

" Statistics (...) The author of the present repertory was probably not informed that a similar work on Hanover (sic!) Was being prepared with the assistance of the minister, and he only found out after his own part had already been partially printed ; otherwise he would certainly not have appeared with it. The diligence he has put into it is praiseworthy and meritorious, and if we had not received the rival work at the same time, we would always regard it as an appreciable contribution to the statistics of Hanover. "
