The merchant fleet took him to sea at the age of 12, but it became the Navy he dedicated his life to. During the early years he saw one battle followed by another: Copenhagen (1801), The South China Sea (1804), Trafalgar (1805) and so on. In 1818 Franklin partook in an expedition to Svalbard (Spitzbergen) as commander of one of the ships and the following years he led the Coppermine expedition, one of several mapping expeditions sent out by The Royal Navy in an attempt at discovering The Northwest Passage and thereby the shortcut route to the lucrative markets of Asia. The expedition started out from the Coppermine River and worked it's way east along the polar sea. The men were challenged not only by the hardships a northern climate has to offer, but also by shortage of food, bad planning, murder, possible cannibalism and a less welcoming attitude from the local helpers and ended up not fulfilling it's objective. Only half the crew made it back alive after famously eating lichen - and perhaps even their own shoes if we shall believe Franklin's nickname 'The man who ate his boots' - to survive. Franklin went on to command the Mackenzie River expedition in 1825, being governor of van Diemen's Land (present day Tasmania) for six years and lastly being appointed leader of the Northwest Passage Expedition.

Henrik Stampe (1713-89) står som en af det 18. århundredes betydeligste danske embedsmænd. I 1753 blev han udnævnt til såvel juridisk professor ved Københavns Universitet og til generalprokurør. I sidstnævnte egenskab kom han ind i enevoldsmagtens inderkreds og fik ansvaret for udarbejdelse af nye love og for afgivelsen af erklæringer til regeringen i komplicerede juridiske spørgsmål - det er dette arbejde, der er dokumenteret i værket. Han deltog livet ud i centraladministrationens væsentligste arbejde og var både med i Struensees reformer, i tribunalet mod Struensee og Brandt og til sidst medvider i sammensværgelsen mod Høegh-Guldberg - man må sno sig her i verden. Henrik Stampe sluttede sin karriere som statsminister.
