ver Garie, which ru flies through in a deep, darkfome, and 
horrid, channel, beneath. In the laft century this was a 
pafs of-much danger and difficulty; -a path hanging over 
a tremendous precipice threatened dedruftion to the lead 
falfe ftep of the traveller ; at prefent a fine road, formed by 
foldiery lent by the government, and encouraged by addi¬ 
tional pay, gives an eafy accefs to the remote Highlands; 
and the two fides are joined by a fine arch. This pafs, in its 
open and unimproved date, was always, in a military light, 
confidered as a very formidable defile. In the lad rebel¬ 
lion, a body of Heffians, having been detached into thefe 
parts of Scotland, made a full paufe at this drait, refu¬ 
sing to march farther. It appeared to them as the tie plus 
ultra of habitable country. In king William’s time, it 
ivas marked with the dedru&ion of a royal army. The 
only fpirited attempt, in his reign, in favour of James’s 
caufe, was made by Clavers lord vii'count Dundee. This 
chief, who was a man both of honour and enterprife, col¬ 
lected a body of forces, and fet up the dandard of the ex¬ 
iled prince. With great zeal he importuned all the difaf- 
fetted clans to join him ; but amidd the wanned profef- 
fions he found only lukewarm affidance. Mortified by re¬ 
peated difappointments, and chagrined at having the 
whole burden of the war upon himfelf, he was (kulking 
about Lochabar with a few darved and ill-armed troops, 
Iiefitating what courfe to take, when he received advice, 
that general Mackay, who was in qued of him at the head 
of the Englifh army, was in full march towards the pafs 
of Killicranky. In the midd of defpair, a beam of hope 
infpired him. He harangued his men ; afi'ured them of 
fuccefs ; roufed them to action ; and fell upon Mackay, 
as he filed out of the ftraits, with fo much judgment and 
well-directed fury, that in (even minutes the Englidr in¬ 
fantry was broken, and the liorfe in as many more. In 
the moment of viCtqry, Dundee was mortally wounded ; 
and thus the victory proved of no avail; for with him 
expired all the hopes of king James in Scotland, which 
made a full fubrniffion to William that fame year, as re¬ 
lated under the article England, vol. vi. p. 397.

KILT.IGREW (William), elded fon of fir Robert Kil- 
ligrew, was born in 1605. He was gentleman-ufher of the 
privy-chamber to king Charles I. and, on the redoration, 
when Charles II. married the princefs Catharine of Portu¬ 
gal, he was created vice-chamberlain ; in which dation he 
continued twenty-two years, and died in 1693. He was 
the author of four plays, which, though now thrown afide, 
were much applauded by the poets of that time, particu¬ 
larly by Waller. 
KIL'LIGREW (Anne), “a Grace for beauty, and a 
Mufe for wit,” as Mr. Wood fays, was the daughter of 
Dr. Henry Killigrew, brother of the foregoing, and was 
born a little before the redoration. She gave early indi¬ 
cations of genius, and became e.minent in the arts both of 
poetry and painting: She drew' the duke of York and his 
duchefs to whom ffie was maid of honour, as well as feve- 
rak other portraits and hidory-pieces ; and crowned all her 
other accomplifhments with unblemiffied virtue and exem¬ 
plary piety. Dryden feems quite laviffi in her praife, 
though Wood allures us he has faid no more of her than 
fhe was equal if not fuperior to. This amiable young wo¬ 
man died of the i'mall-pox in 1685 ; and the year after her 
poems were publiffied in a thin quarto volume. 
KILLILEAGH, a town of Ireland, in the county of 
Down and province of Ulder, eighty miles from Dublin ;

of Strangford, from which it is fupplied with a great vari¬ 
ety of fid). The family of the Hamiltons, created fird 
Lords Clanbois, and afterwards' Earls of Clanbralfil, had 
their feat and refidencO here in a cadle danding at the up¬ 
per end of the great dreet; at the lower end of the dreet

an eminence a fmall didance from the town isahandfome 
church built in the form of a crofs. This place fud'ered 
much in the calamitous year 1641. It is now thriving, and 
the linen-manufacture is carried on in it, and fine thread' 
made, for which it has a great demand. It formerly re¬ 
turned two members to parliament. The celebrated natu- 
ralift and eminent phyfician fir Hans Sloane was born here, 
April 16, 1660; and his father Alexander Sloane was at 
the head of that colony of Scots which king James I. fet¬ 
tled in the place. This town was incorporated by that 
king at the indance of the fird earl of Clanbois ; but lod 
its privilege at the union.
