Read these quotations: “that virtue…was in a manner contagious; more especially the bright virtue known as patriotism , or love of country. that the lofty example of this immaculate and unimpeachable witness [john basard] for the crown….” “neither did he [roger cly] call it a curious coincidence that true patriotism was his only motive too. he was a true briton, and hoped there were many like him.”
what is the narrator’s tone in these descriptions of patriotism?

The tone of this passage is actually “awakening” or the tone of realizing. It is because the character has realized that if you love the country by yourself, the nation would not push through of continuing to change yet if you spread the love for your country you can achieve something even greater. This is motivation for people who are pushing through with patriotism.
