Keene was born at the East India College, Haileybury; Henry George Keene (1781-1864) was his father. He was educated at Rugby School and Wadham College, Oxford, going to India as an East India Company employee in 1847. His career as an official was limited, but he began to write. From 1847 to 1882 Keene served in the Bengal Civil Service. During the Indian Rebellion of 1857 he was Superintendent at Debea Dow. From 1867 he was a judge in the North-West Provinces. A Fellow of Calcutta College, he was made C.I.E. in 1883. The chapters in this book originally appeared in the Calcutta Review, and at the request of many readers the work was published in book form in Calcutta in 1901 (on account of the author) under the title of The Great Anarchy. The author, dissatisfied with the form in which the volume was issued, cancelled the publication after the subscribers' copies had been distributed. This new and revised edition has been prepared for circulation in this country, and the title has been changed to one more indicative of the contents of the volume.
