Dolman entered journalism at age of 18. He worked for the London Echo, Scarborough Evening News and the National Press Agency. He was editor of the Art Trade Journal. He was a contributor to The Strand, Pearson’s, Pall Mall Gazette and other magazines.[1]
His written work also included a book Municipalities at work: the municipal policy of six great towns and its influence on their social welfare (with an introduction by Sir John Hutton, chairman of the London County Council), published in 1895.[2] This compared London's social welfare provision, sometimes unfavourably, to that of other British cities.[3]
