sets the stage for a detailed exploration of volcanic geology, outlining the slow progress of understanding volcanoes throughout history, from ancient myths and early scientific misconceptions to contemporary recognition of their role in Earth’s geological history. Geikie emphasizes the valuable contributions of early geologists and the importance of a systematic study of ancient volcanoes in Britain.
