三卷。吴应箕著。吴应箕(1594—1645),字风之,又字次尾,明清之际安徽池州府贵池(今安徽贵池)县人。他是明末复社的领袖,领导了声讨阉党遗孽阮大铖的活动。该书序下注有一行小字:“书共六卷,存陈其年维崧太史家”。但该书实存上中下三卷,这可能是书刚编成时有六卷,后来删繁就简,合并为三卷。吴应箕在序中说:“东林者,门户之别名也;门户者,又朋党之别号。夫小人欲空人国,必加之以朋党。于是东林之名最著,而受祸为独深,要亦何负于人国哉！东林争言真伪；其真者必不负国家，伪者反至负东林。此实何欤？盖起事至五、六十年，相传多失其实。于是而有伪者，亦势使然也。今之所为东林者，又一变往时欲锢之林下者、今且下及草野。夫盛世岂有党锢之事？何论朝野，亦办其真与伪而已矣。余于是条次其本末，以使观者有所考而感焉。”
