CARLYLE, JOSEPH DACRE (1759-18o4) , British orientalist, was born in 1759 at
Carlisle
 , where his father was a physician. He went in 1775 to
Cambridge
 , was elected a fellow of Queens' College in 1779, taking the degree of B.D. in 1793. With the assistance of a native of Bagdad known in England as
David

resident

Cambridge

His translation from the Arabic of Yusuf ibn Taghri Birdi, the Rerum Egypticarum Annales, appeared in 1792, and in 1796 a volume of Specimens of Arabic Poetry, from the earliest times to the fall of the Caliphate, with some account of the authors.
