"L'Histoire de la monarchie de Juillet' est sévère pour cette monarchie. C'est, non pour la forme qui est pleine d'attrait, et pour l'exposition qui est constamment intéressante, mais pour le fond des idées et pour les conclusions, une œuvre morose et attristée. Un seul caractère supérieur, Casimir Périer. A part Guizot et le duc de Broglie, qui sont étudiés avec sympathie et équité, à Laffitte qui n'est pas trop sévèrement condamné, les autres personnages sont trop diminués. Il ne faut point monter en ballon pour mesurer les hommes. En eux-memes et par rapport à l'archetype de l'homme d'Etat idéal, les gouvernants de 1830 à 1836 peuvent sembler médiocres; comparés à la moyenne des ministres de tous les temps, ils restent parmi les plus estimables et les plus distingues."- Revue critique,
