"The Destiny of the Soul" is a philosophical book written by William Rounseville Alger, originally published in 1864. The book explores the concept of the soul and its ultimate destiny in the afterlife. Alger's writing is a combination of philosophy, spirituality, and religion and it touches on themes such as the nature of God, immortality and the purpose of life. The book is divided into three parts, each of which focuses on a different aspect of the soul's destiny. The first part explores the concept of the soul and its inherent qualities, such as its immortality and its relationship with God. The second part delves into the various theories and beliefs about the afterlife, including reincarnation, heaven, and hell. The final part considers the implications of our beliefs about the soul and the afterlife for our lives on earth. Alger's writing is poetic and thought-provoking and he draws on a wide range of philosophical and religious traditions to explore the destiny of the soul. Ultimately, "The Destiny of the Soul" invites readers to reflect on their own beliefs about the soul and its ultimate destiny and to consider how those beliefs shape their lives and actions.

"Looking back over his pages, after nearly a quarter of a century more of investigation and experience, the author is grateful that he finds nothing to retract or expunge. He has but to add such thoughts and illustrations as have occurred to him in the course of his subsequent studies. He hopes that the supplementary chapters now published will be found more suggestive and mature than the preceding ones, while the same in aim and tone. For he still believes, as he did in his earlier time, that there is much of error and superstition, bigotry and cruelty, to be purged out of the prevailing theological creed and sentiment of Christendom. And he still hopes, as he did then, to contribute something of good influence in this direction. The large circulation of the work, the many letters of thanks for it received by the author from laymen and clergymen of different denominations, the numerous avowed and unavowed quotations from it in recent publications, all show that it has not been produced in vain, but has borne fruit in missionary service for reason, liberty, and charity."
