the other examples, _four_ times over.

careless, will not improve. They can write as well as me. This is the
man whom was expected. Her and I deserve esteem. I have made greater
proficiency than him. Whom, of all my acquaintances, do you think was
there? Whom, for the sake of his important services, had an office of
honor bestowed upon him.
NOTE 2, to RULE 13. Personal pronouns being used to supply the place of
nouns, should not be employed in the same member of the sentence with
the noun which they represent.
FALSE SYNTAX.

doing good, they are continually doing evil.
In each of the preceding examples, the personal pronoun should be
omitted, according to Note 2.
