Remember to have + past participle
Hello
Has anyone here come across a contemporary example of the construction "remember to have + past participle", as used in the examples here:
"I remember to have eaten a few dinners with Turks, and I declare that they were models of cleanliness compared to those at which I have been compelled to ...."
Date: 1851
"I never remember to have eaten anything so delicate, so tender, so delicious, in the whole course of my life."
1833
"Fortune favours the brave " — the stuffing proved pleasanter to the taste than any stuffing I ever remember to have eaten"
