This recipe was extracted from The household cook book (1902) by Smiley, James B[ethuel],, page 118. The excerpt below is the record exactly as published.

ROAST DUCK — Choose ducks that are plump, and have yellow- ish feet; dress like other poultry, taking care to get off all the down. Fill the body with seasoned dressing, sew up, and bake or roast, bast- ing often. Time, 20 to 40 minutes. They are often parboiled before being baked, as that lessens the strong taste. They can also be stuffed with apples which absorb the strong taste and should not be eaten on that account. Celery should be served with roast duck
