[Note 327.3]

Jenny Lind made her British début in London on 7th May 1847 [i] She made a successful tour of the English provinces at the end of the 1847 opera season [ii]
W.H.C. West (the author of Bargery 321, The Rail! The Rail! and Bargery 329 The Railway Footman) wrote a song to which the British Library ascribes a putative date of 1847 called Jenny Lind Mania (British Library shelfmark HS.74/1251.(402.)). The song includes the line "From a toothpick to an omnibus, All are called by her name". Indeed a locomotive class was named after her. [iii]
