Lack of Documentation of Bonchamps' Life
Despite his public prominence in the 1890s, there is remarkably little reliable documentation detailing the relevant details of the life of Marquis Christian de Bonchamps. Neither the listing of his hereditary aristocratic title nor contemporary sources provide specifics regarding the year and place of his birth or the year and circumstances of his death. The 1971 reissue of the 1893 "René de Pont-Jest" text gave 1860 as the year of Bonchamps' birth and stated that he died in 1919, at the age of 58 or 59. There was no indication as to what role, if any, he may have played in the just-concluded World War I.

Famous quotes containing the words lack of, lack and/or life:
“Lack of reciprocity ruins friendships, but makes love affairs exciting for a time.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“The particular source of frustration of women observing their own self-study and measuring their worth as women by the distance they kept from men necessitated that a distance be kept, and so what vindicated them also poured fuel on the furnace of their rage. One delight presumed another dissatisfaction, but their hatefulness confessed to their own lack of power to please. They hated men because they needed husbands, and they loathed the men they chased away for going.”
—Alexander Theroux (b. 1940)
“...we never worked for white people in their homes. No, sir, not even once! That is one of the accomplishments in my life of which I am the most proud, yes, sir!”
—Annie Elizabeth Delany (b. 1891)
