應檟（1493～1553）為嘉靖時期的官員，歷任刑部主事、知府、巡撫、總督淮河、提督兩廣軍務等，所參與的事務包含：刑獄、錢糧、學政、馬政、邊關、漕運、治河、軍務等，經歷甚為豐富。其生平史料卻僅散見於《明實錄》、私家著述，甚至未被《明史》收入列傳，足見其史料之闕。《國朝獻徵錄》所輯錄應檟的史料，主要是以唐汝楫所撰〈明故兵部右侍郎兼都察院右僉都御史贈兵部尚書警菴應公墓誌銘〉為底本進行修訂，在保存明代人物傳記史料方面，甚有貢獻。然而，將兩者內容校對比較之後，卻發現焦竑在抄錄、編輯過程，或許出於史識、取材、立場等因素考量，對原文進行諸多的改動，包含了缺漏字、訛誤、刪去內容等缺失，甚至刪去應檟的家族源流、人際交誼等相關內容。本文即以《國朝獻徵錄》收錄應檟墓誌銘為主，對照唐汝楫所撰原文進行校讀，以理解兩者之間的差異有哪些？以及差異的原因為何？進而探討《國朝獻徵錄》收錄史料考證時的優缺。
