Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

The Scottish geologist Andrew Crombie Ramsay (1814 91), best
remembered for his work on glaciation, made his name with this
study, which originated in holiday visits to Arran. Encouraged by
John Nichol of Glasgow University, Ramsay had prepared a geological
map of the island for the British Association's visit in 1839, and
was to have led a field excursion and lectured to the delegates
there, but missed the boat. Nichol arranged for Ramsay's work to be
published the following year. It attracted the attention of
Roderick Murchison, who found him employment with the Geological
Survey, and Ramsay later succeeded Murchison as its director and
was knighted on his retirement in 1881. The book, designed as a
practical visitor's guide for both amateur and professional
geologists, is organised by district with reference to specific
geological features, and Ramsay provides full explanations,
diagrams and engravings to make his work accessible to
non-specialists.
