Reliability Tier1
Encyclopaedia Britannica: a professionally edited, editorially reviewed general reference encyclopedia, the same tier already used for this atlas's other Britannica citations. Direct render blocked (HTTP 403) during verification; its account of the 1855 Denmark (Andrae) and 1857 England (Hare, Machinery of Representation) origin and the quota/surplus mechanics is corroborated by independent secondary accounts checked the same day (Wikipedia's History and use of the single transferable vote, and the Electoral Reform Society's account of the same history).
