Probably after the 'inventor' of the water closet, John Harrington. Eighteenth century was a century of toilets.

In comparison to this, Harrington's toilet under the name Angrez was being used in France, though not introduced on a large scale in England.

Who mapped the whole of Australia's coastline?
No single person mapped the entire east coast of Australia. The first to chart the eastern coast was Captain James Cook in 1770, and he named many features along the coast, but did not explore every bay and inlet. Between December 1801 and June 1803, Matthew Flinders charted the entire coastline of Australia. During this time, he filled in some of the information Cook had missed. In 1817, Philip Parker King was given command of an expedition to complete the exploration of the north-western coast of Australia, filling in the gaps that Flinders had not yet mapped. He was instructed to explore all gulfs, inlets and other waterways "likely to lead to an interior navigation into this great continent". In 1823, three ticket-of-leave convicts (Parsons, Pamphlett and Finnegan) led explorer John Oxley to the Brisbane River, another feature which had been missed by the two previous seamen.
