Dorman was a political philosopher and educationalist. His trip to the Congo was primarily for big game hunting. However, he makes a professional appraisal of the progress of the Congo Free State with reference to the treaties which brought it into being, and concludes that it has “solved the problem which has baffled the combined wisdom of all the ancient great colonial Powers”.
