I don't have time at this point to check the reference, but I'm pretty sure 
it was James Mill who first formulated Say's Law in terms of "supply  
creates its own demand" (rather than "products always exchange for  
products"). But I don't know who first called it "Say's Law."   
 
Hope this helps a bit.
