The book systematically explores various earth movements—including earthquakes, earth tremors, earth pulsations, and earth oscillations—focusing particularly on earthquakes as a significant geological phenomenon. Milne draws on extensive observations and experiments from his time in Japan, reflecting on the interconnected nature of these phenomena. The opening of the book introduces the various types of earth movements that Milne intends to discuss, emphasizing the importance of earthquakes in the study of geology and their impact on human understanding of natural phenomena. He outlines the organization of the text, which will cover foundational concepts such as seismometry, earthquake motion, and the effects of earthquakes on land and structures, indicating a comprehensive approach to the topic. Milne also highlights the historical context of seismological study, acknowledging past contributions and the current gaps in understanding, which sets the stage for the scientific discourse that follows.
