I hope this link works. If not, the title of the book is "The Doctrine of the Rusian Church: Being the Primer or Spelling Book, the Shorter and Longer Catechism, and a Treatise on the Duty of Parish Priests" This is an English translation of the Russian published in 1845.

Interesting.

Fantastic. Thank you so much for posting this. Both catechisms are the work of Metropolitan Philaret approved by the Holy Synod in 1839. I have never read "The Duty of Paish Priests" and am looking forward to seeing if there is a section similar to "The Spiritual Regulation (1721) of Peter 1st that requires priests to question the laity about their their loyalty to the Tsar and government!
Nice intruduction too about Petro Mohyla's work etc.
A wonderful find.
