within various parts of the old inclofures, from one end 
of the place to the other. A free grammar-fchool was 
founded here by John lord Darcy, of Alton, in the coun¬ 
ty of York, in the ninth year of the reign of Charles I. 
with appointments for matter and ulher. 
Rudlton, north-eaft of Kilham, has a very tall obelifk 
in its church-yard, of the fame ftone, lhape, and fize, as 
thofe at Borough-bridge, though it is forty miles wide of 
any quarries. Near this place is a mineral fpring, faid to 
be efficacious in curing certain diforders. The Vipfey, or 
Gipfey, is a curious fpring, that after a wet autumn breaks 
out at a place called Henpit-hole, near the road to Long- 
toft. The violence of the fpring, or fpout, when it firft 
iffues out of the ground, is faid to be fo great, that a man 
on horfeback may ride under its arched ftream. There is 
a place called Danes Graves, a piece of ground at the 
fouth-weft extremity of the lordfhip, marked with a great 
number of hillocks clofe to one another, traditionally faid 
to be the burying-place of the Danes when invading this 
country. 
Burton Agnes, the feat of fir Francis Boynton, is three 
miles eaft of Kilham. It belonged anciently to the So¬ 
mervilles, and by an heirefs of that family defcended to 
the Griffiths; and fir Henry Griffiths, at the latter end of 
the reign of queen Elizabeth, began a ftately brick-houfe, 
which was finilhed by his widow, and is greatly admired 
by fir William Dugdale. Here is a remarkably neat church, 
which was repaired in 1727 by fir Griffith Boynton, the 
third baronet of his family, and contains feveral ancient 
monuments of his anceftors, the Somervilles and Griffiths, 
and a very elegant one, by Cheere, in memory of fir Grif¬ 
fith, who died October 18, 1761. This lordfhip hath a 
common of fome thoufand acres of land, extending to the 
lordfhip of Barrnfton-, where flood formerly another good 
feat of the Boyntons, to whom it came by marriage, temp. 
Richard III. The name of the Boyntons is local, from 
Boynton (anciently Bovington), a fmall village of the 
Wolds, five miles from Kilham, of which Bartholomew 
de Boynton was feized in 1067. See the article Heral¬ 
dry, vol. ix. p. 690. and Plate LXVII. 
KIL'IA, or Kilia Nova, a town of European Turkey, 
in the province of Beffarabia, at the mouth of the Da¬ 
nube, near the Black Sea. In 1790 it was taken by the 
Ruffians after a fiege of three weeks : twenty miles eaft- 
north-eaft of Ifmail. Lat. 45. 28. N. Ion. 30. 12. E. 
KIL'IAN (Lucas), the patriarch of a numerous pro¬ 
geny of engravers, was born at Augfburg in the year 1579. 
Under whofe direftion he ftudied is not known, but the 
works of Henry Goltzius and Muller appear to have been 
his fchool. It appears, however, that he went to Italy, 
in order to complete his fludies, w’here he engraved feve- 
xal plates from the pictures of the great Italian matters; 
but returned, and died in his native city in the year 1637. 
Few artifts have manifefted a greater command of the 
graver than Kilian : whether we confider the apparent fa¬ 
cility with which his ftrokes are turned over each other, 
or the firmnefs with which they are executed, one cannot 
help admiring the author; though it evidently ttrikes us, 
that, by paying too clofe attention to this part of his art, 
he negleCted the corre&nefs of his outlines, and fatigued 
the lights with unneteflary work.” Such is the opinion 
of our countryman Strutt: to which fhould be added, that 
his drawing is not accurate, nor his chiarofcuro bfoad and 
impreflive. Of the numerous works of Kilian, the fol¬ 
lowing are held in moll efteem: The Adoration of the 
Shepherds, a middling-fized plate, from the younger Pal¬ 
ma. The fame fubjed, a large upright, after Spranger. 
Another of the fame fubjed, after Rotenharaer. And an¬ 
other (a large upright) from j. Heintz. A Holy Family, 
from Cornelius de Haerlem ; and the Miracle of the Loaves 
and Fifties, from Tintoret: both large uprights. Chrift 
praying in the Garden, a fmall upright, arched at the 
top, from Frederic Sufties. A dead Chrift, from Michael 
Angelo ; and a Nymph and Satyr, from J. Heintz : both 
fmall uprights. The Rape of Proferpine, a large folio 
K I L 
plate, from the fame mafter. The Entombing of Chrift, 
an upright, without the painter’s name, dated i6co, which 
perhaps, with many other of the engravings of Lucas Ki¬ 
lian, is from his own defign. The belt portraits by this 
matter, are thofe of himfelf, aged 55,‘a rare print in 410. 
Petrus Cuftos, vulgo Baltens, Pidor et Poeta Antwerpi- 
anus ; Nicholas Chriftophe prince de Rudzivil; both in 
4to. The emperor Chriftian II. dated 1615 ; Maria Eleo¬ 
nora Suevorum Gothorum Regina; Guftavus Adolphus 
Suevorum Gothorum Rex ; and Albert Durer, a half- 
length ; all of the folio fize. 
Kilian (Wolfgang), the brother of Lucas, was alfo of 
Augfburg, and born in the year 1581. He ftudied under 
Dominic Cuftos, and, after his return from Italy, under 
his brother Lucas, whofe ftyle he imitated without attain¬ 
ing to the fame degree of excellence ; his prints are fome- 
what neater, but more ftiff and formal. Wolfgang em¬ 
ployed the greater part of his time in engraving portraits, 
of which the following are thofe of moll importance : Er- 
neft Count Mansfield ; Maximilian of Wallenftein, dated 
1642 ; Jean Major, mathematician of Augfburg; Frederic 
baron de Teuffenbach ; Jean Godefion, bifhop of Wurz¬ 
burg, and Ferdinand III. king of the Romans, all in 4to. 
Of the foliofize; thearchbifhops of Mayence, Cologne, and 
Treves; his own portrait, inferibed Labor improbus omnia 
vincit ; and a fet of twenty-feven of the emperors and 
archdukes of the houfe of Auftria, from 1229 to 1623:, 
with their lives and eulogiums, publiftied at Augfburg in 
1629. The mod elteemed of his hiftorical works are, the 
Baptifm of Jefus Chrift, after Paolo Veronefe; the Af- 
fumption of the Virgin Mary, after Tintoretto ; the De- 
feent from the Crofs, after Paolo Farinato; and the Good 
Samaritan, after Giacomo Baffano ; all in folio. The Re- 
furreftion of Chrift, arched at the top, after F. Baffano; 
the four Evangelifts, in upright ovals, from his own de- 
figns; and the Feftival of the Peace of Weftphalia, after 
Joab Sandrart, in large folio, engraved on two plates, and 
which is now become a rare print. 
Kilian (Bartholomew)* the third fon of Wolfgang, 
was born at Augfburg in the year i5jo, and died in the 
fame city in the year 1696. He diftinguifhed himfelf at 
a period of life fo early, that Sandrart emphatically fays, 
“ lie was born an artift.” At the age of eighteen he en¬ 
graved a Magdalen after M. Gondelach, which induced 
his father to place him under M. Merian of Frankfort, af¬ 
ter ftudying with whom two years and a half, he travelled 
to Paris for farther improvement. Here he remained more 
than three years, availing himfelf of the inftrudions of 
different artifts ; and here he engraved his AfTumption of 
the Virgin, after Philip Champagne; and Crucifixion, af¬ 
ter Teltelin. Returning to his native city, he continued 
to cultivate his art, and produced a great many excellent 
portraits, with fome few hiftorical fubjeds. Strutt is in¬ 
correct in faying he worked entirely with the graver, but 
is right in what he aflerts of the originality of Bartholo¬ 
mew’s ftyle. He worked in a manner entirely different 
from thofe of the Kilians who had preceded him ; fome- 
times, in order to make a ftriking diftindion between the 
flefh and the draperies of his figures, he finifhed the for¬ 
mer with dots only ; and at other times expreffed the 
darker fhadows of his flefh by lines, which he blended 
with dots in the lighter parts. Mariette and Barthelemy 
talk of him as an example for a painter; but tliefe writers 
.are warmer in bis praife than an infpedior. of his work 
.will fully warrant. B. Kilian generally marked his en¬ 
gravings (of which the following lift contains the prin¬ 
cipal) with his name at length ; but fometimes ufed only 
his initials; and at others, according to Huber, a cipher 
which does not appear to belong to him. 
Six half-length portraits, in folio, of celebrated protef- 
tant preachers at Augfburg, after B. Hopfer. Three me¬ 
dallions of archbifhops of Salzburg, with allegorical ac¬ 
companiments, after Henry Schoenfeldt. Johannes III. 
king of Poland, after Bloemart, dated 1681, a large bull: 
of learned execution. Maximilian Emanuel, eleftora)
