About the Book
The Puranas are eighteen in mumbers. Saga Veda vyasa composed them. There are reference to Epics and Puranas in the Vedic texts and also in Sutras texts and also in Sutras texts of Apasthamba, Gautama and tothers. Many of the previous Puranas are extinct now and only those are available which are composed by Veda-Vyasa.
The Vishnu Puranas is presented as a dialogue between sage Parashara and his disciple Maiteya. It deals with, about the devas and asuras the geographical description of earth divided into seven islands the avataras of Vishnu about the population of the earth from the beginning life and plays of Lord Krishna.
Preface
The literature of the Hindus has now been cultivated for many years with singular diligence, and in many of its branches with eminent success. There are some departments, however, which are yet but partially and imperfectly investigated; and we are far from being in possession of that knowledge which the authentic writings of the Hindus alone can give us of their religion, mythology, and historical traditions.
From the materials to which we have hitherto had access, it seems probable that there have been three principal forms in which the religion of the Hindus has existed, at as many different periods. The duration of those periods, the circumstances of their succession, and the precise state of the national faith at each season, it is not possible to trace with any approach to accuracy. The premises have been too imperfectly determined to authorize other than conclusion of a general and somewhat vague description, and those remain to be hereafter confirmed or corrected by more extensive and satisfactory research.
The earliest form under which the Hindu religion appears is that taught in the Vedas

I was expecting the complete translation as were mentioned in the reviews but what I received was only the index of the book without the book! So I had to return it.

A great work and a tremendous feat of translation by a long dead Englishman.
