La conception de l'histoire que Tocqueville dénonce est une invention littéraire, en un sens évidemment péjoratif et ironique. Le repli sur la grandeur apparente ne cache que la paresse, la volonté d'être indifférent aux particularités. Elle est donc tout le contraire du travail du véritable historien qui ne saurait se contenter de construire de grandes figures, stylistiques et historiques. Les deux tentations se rejoignent et finissent par expliquer le destin de l'Amérique par La Fayette ou celui de la France par Robespierre. À cet acte de vanité s'oppose la réalité de l'histoire.
