Signature on title page of book: “Zecharia Lifshitz…”. Sheets of book contain dozens of glosses in his handwriting. “Since the righteous Rabbi Zecharia learned all his manners of conduct from the Vilna Ga’on therefore he was meticulous also in this matter…”, “and the Ga’on brought this to my consciousness”, “see commentary of the Ga’on on Seder Pinchas…”. In many comments he mentions the manuscript of the book which was in his possession. [The writer is possibly Rabbi Yisrael Lifshitz author of "Tiferet Yisrael" on the Mishnayot].
