Eighteen numbers and three supplements were issued at somewhat irregular intervals during the next three years. A new numbering began, under a different management, pro bably in 1748, for in that year D. Francisco Echeverria y Borda established a press at the Plazuela de San Cris tobal, the address from which the new series of the Ga zeta appeared. In 17 52 this, the principal printing Of fice in Lima, passed to another owner, who for some reason did not continue the publication of the Gazeta, which was secured by Carlos Marin, who became the manager of the press on the Calle de Palacio in this year. The paper continued to be issued from this address until 1759, although there appear to have been some changes in the editorial management.
