In or near this town was anciently a caftle of the fame 
name. On the extinflion of the dukes of Swabia, of the 
Hohen-Stauffen line, the town fell to the empire. The 
emperors Charles IV. and VVenceflaus, promifed to main¬ 
tain it perpetually in its immediate dependency thereon. 
Its affelfment in the matri.cula of the empire, and circle, 
was formerly 160 florins, but in 1683 was reduced to 531. 
To the chamber of Wetzlar, it paid 44 rix-dollars, 65 
kruitzers. In 1325, this town was burnt down, all but 
feven houfes. In 1633, and 1634, it was taken by the 
Swedes; and in 1703, it was taken by the Bavarians : fif¬ 
teen miles north-north-eaft of Kempten, and fixty-two 
eaft-north-eaft of Conftance. Lat.47.42. N. Ion. 10. 35. E. 
KAUFF'MANN (Maria Angelica), a lady who pof- 
feffed the talents and tafte of a painter in a degree very 
unufual among her fex. She was a native of Coire, the 
capital of the Grifons, in Swiflerland, and born in 1740 or 
1742. Her father, Jofeph Kauffman, a native of Bregentz, 
on the lake of Conftance, and a portrait-painter, taught her 
painting and malic. When very young, fne pradtifed this 
latter art more than the former ; and every traveller of 
diftindlion, palling through Coire, went to hear her fing, 
and accompany her voice on the harpfichord. The father 
and daughter removed for fome time to Conftance, and 
thence into Italy. Their firft ftay in that country was at 
Milan, where Ihe ferioully applied herfelf to painting, in 
which Ihe was alfifted by the liberal contributions of fome 
German dilettanti, who had known her in her native town. 
Here (he made a number of copies’from the works of the 
greateft mailers in Italy. She went to Naples in the year 
1763 ; and thence to Rome, where (he formed an acquaint¬ 
ance with the celebrated Winckelmann. This antiquary, in 
a letter written to his friend Franck, in 1764, fpeaks of her 
in the following manner: “ I have had my likenefs drawn 
by a foreigner, a native of Swiflerland, a young perfon of 
uncommon merit. She excels in portraits, painted with 
oil-colours. My pi< 5 lure is a half-length figure, fitting. 
She has alfo engraved or rather etched it in aqua fortis, 
wifliing to make me a prefent of it. Her father, who ia 
likewife a painter, brought her to Italy when young ; fo 
that (lie fpeaks as good Italian as Ihe does German. I11 
the latter idiom, her accent is fo correft and plealing, that 
file might pafs for a native of Saxony. She expreffes her¬ 
felf with equal fluency in French and Englifli ; to which 
circumftance it is probably owing, that all the Englifli who 
vifit Rome have their portraits painted by her. She fings 
with fo much tafte, that (he may boldly compare herfelf 
to our bell profelfional fingers. Her name is Angelica. 
Kauffmann.” 
In the year 1765, Hie came to England, preceded by * 
well- deferved reputation. Here Ihe was received in a very 
flattering manner; her works eagerly fought for; and her 
company folicited by the learned, the great, and the po¬ 
lite. She was honoured with royal attentions, and was 
elteemed and courted by artifts. She was very indullrious, 
and painted the lighter feenes of poetry with a grace and 
tafte entirely her own ; and happily formed to meet that 
of an engraver whofe labours highly contributed to the 
growth and perpetuity of her fame. Bartolozzi was the 
man, who, enjoying at the ferae time youth, health, and 
ingenuity, almoll entirely devoted his talents between 
Angelica and Cipriani. The three were endowed with 
congenial feelings in the arts ; which,.if not of the higheft 
clafs, were certainly entitled to rank among the moft 
agreeable. After fome years relidence here, (he was un¬ 
happily deceived by a footman of a German count, who, 
coming to England, perfonated his mailer, contrived to be 
prefented at court, and perfuaded Angelica to marry him. 
The cheat was loop difeovered, and the rafeal had not the 
humanity to endeavour to footh her difappointment by 
kindnefs, but treated her very ill. At lall, however, by a 
payment made to him of 300I. he was induced to return 
to Germany, and promifed never to tnoleft her any more. 
About this time the following Iketcli of her was drawn by
