THE ANGELS OF THE NATIONS.

The three chapters (10, 11; and 12.) form a section apart from the rest of Daniel. One marked peculiarity is the long and very old interpolation which occupies nearly the whole of Daniel 11:1-45. Not improbably something has dropped out, and. not a few things have been modified in consequence of this interpolation.
