Hello

This is the cover of a book which was written by my G.G. Grandfather Chaim Zelig.
I'm trying to figure out:
1) More details about the people mentioned in this cover and the relationships between them - Chaim Zelig, Yehuda Leib, Moshe Meshil
2) Chaim Zelig if refered to as "Man of Kanterovich". Does it mean a place or a profession?
3) The physical copy of the book got lost in a flood. I'm trying to locate another copy, would love for any advice

Thanks
Dror

I searched WorldCat and the only record I saw was at the National Library of Israel. (OCLC #233329317)

1)Chaim Zelig of Seltz was the author. His father was the "very learned and famous and pious Yehuda Leib. A descendant of the Gaon who was famed in his generation and was called Rabbi Moshe Meshel, an descendant of the Rambam (Maimonides).
2) a place.

I forgot to mention that Yehuda Leib was from Slutzk.

Yehudah Leib Pohovitser is mentioned in some Google pages as a rabbinical figure in Slutzk. If someone would transliterate the title and publication information, I can try to find a copy in online library catalogs.
