The book explores the geological history and significance of ancient volcanoes in Great Britain, detailing their formation, activities, and the scientific understanding of these phenomena over time. Geikie's work presents a comprehensive overview of volcanic activity, particularly focusing on the geological records left behind. The opening of the work 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. He introduces his intent to provide a cohesive narrative that encompasses the entire history of volcanic action from geological origins up to more recent explorations, highlighting the notable geological characteristics of Great Britain that facilitate this research.
