Hello.
I would like to ask how the phrase "to consider something as possessed of interest" sounds to a native English speaker of the modern day. I know it is an outdated phrase, the text was published two hundred years ago but somehow I like it.
"If you consider the following pages as possesed of interest, I should be happy to see them inserted in your Miscellany."
A Night In The Catacombs by Daniel Keyte Sandford, 1818.
Thank you very much.
