Charles Law was published by a French natural philosopher named Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac. However Joseph credits Jacques Charles, a French mathematician and scientist, since he Joseph learned the discovery from Jacques unpublished work. The law was later independently discovered and supported by a British natural philosopher, John Dalton. Taylor Buchanan was the first person to demonstrate that the law applied generally to all gasses and also to the vapours of volatile liquids if the temperature was more than a few degrees above boiling point. Emile Clapeyron combined Charles Law with Boyle's Law to produce a single statement, later known as the "Ideal Gas Law".
