Charles Edward Sayle born 6 December 1864 (d. 1924)
Charles Edward Sayle was an English Uranian poet and a Cambridge librarian.
He was born the son of Robert and Priscilla Caroline Sayle. In 1889 he went to Cambridge as assistant librarian at St John's College and in 1893 moved to the University Library, where he remained for the rest of his life.

Sayle died at the age of 59.
