In a series of experiments with his friend Richard Towneley, Henry Power discovered the relationship between the pressure and volume of a gas that later became known as Boyle's Law. This relationship was outlined in "Experimental Philosophy," but Robert Boyle, after discussing the theory with Towneley and reading a pre-publication manuscript of Experimental Philosophy, cited the hypothesis as the sole work of Richard Towneley. Boyle's mention of the theory preceded the publication of "Experimental Philosophy" by one year. That, combined with Boyle's promotion of the idea and his significant status as a nobleman scientist ensured the theory's moniker of "Boyle's Law." The French physicist Edme Mariotte discovered the same law independently of Boyle in 1676, but Boyle had already published it in 1662. Thus this law may, improperly, be referred to as Mariotte's or the Boyle-Mariotte law. In Summary: Henry Power Richard Towneley Robert Boyle -----------> Published his theory first, so it is named after him. Edme Mariotte
