From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Jeremiah, Book of
      consists of twenty-three separate and independent sections,
      arranged in five books. I. The introduction, ch. 1. II. Reproofs
      of the sins of the Jews, consisting of seven sections, (1.) ch.
      2; (2.) ch. 3-6; (3.) ch. 7-10; (4.) ch. 11-13; (5.) ch.
      14-17:18; (6.) ch. 17:19-ch. 20; (7.) ch. 21-24. III. A general
      review of all nations, in two sections, (1.) ch. 46-49; (2.) ch.
      25; with an historical appendix of three sections, (1.) ch. 26;
      (2.) ch. 27; (3.) ch. 28, 29. IV. Two sections picturing the
      hopes of better times, (1.) ch. 30, 31; (2.) ch. 32,33; to which
      is added an historical appendix in three sections, (1.) ch.
      34:1-7; (2.) ch. 34:8-22; (3.) ch. 35. V. The conclusion, in two

         In Egypt, after an interval, Jeremiah is supposed to have
      added three sections, viz., ch. 37-39; 40-43; and 44.
     
         The principal Messianic prophecies are found in 23:1-8;
      31:31-40; and 33:14-26.
     
         Jeremiah's prophecies are noted for the frequent repetitions
      found in them of the same words and phrases and imagery. They
      cover the period of about 30 years. They are not recorded in the
      order of time. When and under what circumstances this book
      assumed its present form we know not.
     
         The LXX. Version of this book is, in its arrangement and in
      other particulars, singularly at variance with the original. The
      LXX. omits 10:6-8; 27:19-22; 29:16-20; 33:14-26; 39:4-13; 52:2,
      3, 15, 28-30, etc. About 2,700 words in all of the original are
      omitted. These omissions, etc., are capricious and arbitrary,
      and render the version unreliable.
