From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Daniel, Book of
      is ranked by the Jews in that division of their Bible called the
      Hagiographa (Heb. Khethubim). (See {BIBLE}.) It consists
      of two distinct parts. The first part, consisting of the first
      six chapters, is chiefly historical; and the second part,
      consisting of the remaining six chapters, is chiefly
      prophetical.
     
         The historical part of the book treats of the period of the
      Captivity. Daniel is "the historian of the Captivity, the writer
      who alone furnishes any series of events for that dark and
      dismal period during which the harp of Israel hung on the trees
      that grew by the Euphrates. His narrative may be said in general
      to intervene between Kings and Chronicles on the one hand and
      Ezra on the other, or (more strictly) to fill out the sketch
      which the author of the Chronicles gives in a single verse in
      his last chapter: 'And them that had escaped from the sword
      carried he [i.e., Nebuchadnezzar] away to Babylon; where they
      were servants to him and his sons until the reign of the kingdom
      of Persia'" (2 Chr. 36:20).
     
         The prophetical part consists of three visions and one
      lengthened prophetical communication.
     
         The genuineness of this book has been much disputed, but the
      arguments in its favour fully establish its claims. (1.) We have
      the testimony of Christ (Matt. 24:15; 25:31; 26:64) and his
      apostles (1 Cor. 6:2; 2 Thess. 2:3) for its authority; and (2)
      the important testimony of Ezekiel (14:14, 20; 28:3). (3.) The
      character and records of the book are also entirely in harmony
      with the times and circumstances in which the author lived. (4.)
      The linguistic character of the book is, moreover, just such as
      might be expected. Certain portions (Dan. 2:4; 7) are written in
      the Chaldee language; and the portions written in Hebrew are in
      a style and form having a close affinity with the later books of
      the Old Testament, especially with that of Ezra. The writer is
      familiar both with the Hebrew and the Chaldee, passing from the
      one to the other just as his subject required. This is in strict
      accordance with the position of the author and of the people for
      whom his book was written. That Daniel is the writer of this
      book is also testified to in the book itself (7:1, 28; 8:2; 9:2;
      10:1, 2; 12:4, 5). (See {BELSHAZZAR}.)
