Meurer is named and quoted in the first chapter of this book, which is a history of xenophobia in America. Although a law in Pennsylvania required all white male immigrants to be registered, it was mostly applied only to German men.

At the end of his journal, Meurer puts his name and refers to “Philadelphia in America in [Pennsylvania].” (Photo is of a contemporaneous English translation.)

In his journal, written in German Kurrent script, he notes how they were asked to swear allegiance to and not rebel against the British crown and to forswear allegiance to the Pope, which they were happy to promise, but only without an oath. (Photo is of a contemporaneous English translation.)

On the left is an image of the Fields Medal, which includes the head of Archimedes in profile and a Latin inscription that one speaker translated, perhaps a little loosely, as this: “To transcend oneself and grasp the universe.” On the right are the four individuals who received the award this year.
