This recipe was extracted from The household gas cookery book (1900) by Helen Edden, page 57. The excerpt below is the record exactly as published.

Wild Duck, Roast. — Take a duck, pluck and draw it carefully, wipe out the inside with a clean cloth, cut off the head and neck, and scald the feet, and then truss it like you would a fowl. Put it in a hot gas oven with the browner over it, and reduce the gas at once to half an inch blue flame. Cook for about 30 minutes
