Complete issue of the The Objectivist Newsletter (Vol. 4, No. 4, April 1965), four pages, 8.5 x 11, featuring the original published version of Rand's essay entitled "Check Your Premises: The Psycho-Epistemology of Art." Rand revises and edits the work for publication in her volume on art and aesthetics, The Romantic Manifesto, first published in 1969. Rand probably edited this essay after her famous break up with Nathaniel Branden, co-founder of the Objectivist movement and Rand’s longtime lover, as she has deleted a long reference to an article of his that originally appeared in the piece. She makes several other deletions and amends words here and there, also writing a new sentence on an accompanying blue sheet: "(Psycho-epistemology is the study of man's cognitive processes from the aspect of the interaction between the conscious mind and the automatic functions of the subconscious)." In fine condition.
