NEWTON'S PRINCIPIA, THE MATHEMATICAL PRINCIPLES OF NATURAL PHILOSOPHY, TRANSLATED INTO ENGLISH BY ANDREW MOTT, p. 81, "the surface of the water will at first be plain, as before the vessel began to move : but the vessel; by gradually communicating its motion to the water, will make it begin sensibly to revolve, and recede by little and little from the middle, and ascend to the sides of the vessel, forming itself into a concave figure (as I have experienced), and the swifter the motion becomes, the higher will the water rise, till at last, performing its revolutions in the same times with the vessel it becomes relatively at rest in it"
