All the abbreviations cited are Latin, not English, and are most properly italicized to show this.

It seems to me that abbreviations were, if anything, more common in written English from three or four hundred years ago than they are today, viz. "ye" for "the" and like constructions.

P.S. I think the Count meant "ie." rather than "eg." in her example.
