Is there any benefits reading chess books wrote in the 19th century?

I have this book Mr. Blackburne's Games At Chess written by Joseph Blackburne in 1899, was wondering if there is any benefit reading it or the world has moved on?

19th century is a bit far back.
20th century books are still beneficial.

It might be beneficial to study older games as you may be able to understand them better and find improvements.

To a certain extent, they're still useful, but only as far as the middlegame is concerned. Stay away from studying how even great players conducted the opening phase and the endgame. The theory, or better the knowledge of nowaday's chess is very much more advanced to what people knew in those ages. You don't want to study theory of those years.
