William Gardiner - between late 18th Century and mid 19th Century

from Music and Friends: Or, Pleasant Recollections of a Dilettante, page 183:

In a musical party at the house of Major Roberts, I was pressed by three ladies to make one at a loo table [...] I left the table, and consoled myself at the pianoforte. From that day to this I have never been seduced to play again at loo. It is a wise maxim, never to meddle with anything you don't well understand.
